Samuel Carr was a skillful painter of children, seashore life and pastoral subjects. In his beach scenes, largely painted between 1879 and 1881, he used certain figures and shapes repeatedly, reversing them, turning them this way and that. Often the figures would not even be looking at each other. He created an odd effect that gave the painting an eerie stillness.
Typical of the popular tastes of the second half of the nineteenth century, most of Carrs pastoral scenes were filled with cat (showing 500 of 1344 characters). |
