‘Thermal’, Peter Lanyon, 1960 | Tate
Artwork page for ‘Thermal’, Peter Lanyon, 1960 on display at Tate St Ives. This painting is one of a series of works that were partly inspired by Lanyon's experience of gliding. Lanyon began gliding in 1959 and the sensation of flight added new dimensions to his landscape painting. He gained a much stronger feeling for the elements. He later explained: 'The air is a very definite world of activity as complex and demanding as the sea.. The thermal itself is a current of hot air rising and…
‘Porthleven’, Peter Lanyon, 1951 | Tate
Artwork page for ‘Porthleven’, Peter Lanyon, 1951 on display at Tate St Ives. This work exemplifies Lanyon’s idea of the ‘experiential landscape’, which involved approaching a place from different positions and combining these views with allusions to geology, history, culture and myth. Here he depicts the fishing port of Porthleven from several perspectives, revealing its two harbours and clock tower.

‘Headland’, Peter Lanyon, 1948 | Tate
Artwork page for ‘Headland’, Peter Lanyon, 1948 Lanyon was born in St Ives and returned to Cornwall after serving with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Headland – the dramatic convergence of cliffs and sea – reflects Lanyon’s early interest in the ambiguous spaces and edges in nature, the intersections of core and surface, land and water. Like Ivon Hitchens, with whom he corresponded during the 1950s and 1960s, Lanyon looked at landscape from multiple perspectives, recording…
