| Julius Olsson - Twilight Moon |
The effects of light on objects and elements at twilight particular sparked Olsson’s creative imagination. In this view of Carbis Bay, the artist countered the shimmering silver moonlight reflected on the crest of the waves with the steady orange glow of Godreavy lighthouse, just visible on the horizon at left.
The picture was formerly in the collection of Charles Birt, a Pembrokeshire businessman whose interest in Olsson’s work was first excited when he discovered that his wife was distantly related to the artist by marriage. Birt acquired several of Olsson's most important exhibited works, as well as oil sketches, and his comparatively rare watercolours.
