Keywords
The painting’s jumbled arrangement of figures, boats, lighthouses and cottages has been specifically designed to create a claustropobic and chaotic mood, similar to Cairns’ imaginings of the young soldiers’ feelings. The whole effect grew from a series of sketches, sometimes of real life scenes but other times of imagined people and places.
