Artist: Bernard Carter (British, 1920-2014) Title: On the Avon at Netton Medium: Oil on board Size: 16.5 x 17.5 inches (42 x 44 cm) including the frame 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. Text source: ''Peintres Naïfs'' by Anatole Jakovsky
