Hammond Steel's evocative and intimate views of Cornish harbours have created an interesting topographical record of Britain's southwest coast. Subjects included Newlyn, Polperro, and Cadgwith, as well as this iconic view of St Ives, painted from Smeaton’s Pier. Dry chalky paint is overlaid with the structured linear definition in a distinctive and crisp style.
