Fishermen of Concarneau

Sails, reddish and alight tan in color, make rich splotches of warm color against the cooler tones of the blue sky and the blue-green water of the bay at picturesque Concarneau. Place before these a group of sturdy seafarers in jackets of bright red and blue, and breeches of the same primary colors, on a quay whose tiles show like a mosaic, and you have a scheme that sings to the eye ina resonant harmony. The fishermen of Concarneau, being French, may have appreciated the artist’s delight when he painted them.
