Sennen , 1960
61 x 91 cm (h x w)
Oil on canvas

© Heinz Koppel estate

Koppel depicts the tiny West Cornwall village of Sennen in a typically naïve, almost surreal, style though his treatment and distinctive colouring also reflect a debt to German Expressionism. A psychological element is introduced by the dominant bend of the cove and its great blue stretch of water which threatens to swallow up the houses and overwhelm the two small boys.
