Bernard Carter was a true naive painter of the 20th century. A traditional schoolteacher, he was enthusiastic about painting since the age of 4.
Carter spent WW2 in Egypt with the R.A.F: after the war he married and lived in South London with his wife and child.
His style is extremely delicate, using fresh light colours. He was especially fond of painting stretches of water such as pools and rivers, and he was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of such districts.
Everything he painted was clearly and accurately presented - it's very naturalness gives his painting a supernatural air.

Tonalist are usually intimate works, painted with a limited palette. Tonalist paintings are softly expressive, suggestive rather than detailed, often depicting the landscape at twilight or evening, when there is an absence of contrast. Tonalist paintings could also be figurative, but in them, the figure was usually out of doors or in an interior in a low-key setting with little detail. Tonalism had its origins in the works of the French Barbizon school and in the works of American painters who were influenced by them.
