A recent acquisition to the gallery is Roland Collins’
gouache of Pollet, Dieppe. The small island of Pollet was once a busy
hub for Dieppe’s sailors until the 19th Century. Following in the
artistic footsteps of Monet, Sickert and others, France and more explicitly
Dieppe was a frequent holiday spot of Roland and his wife Connie. In this
painting, Collins’ distinctive rich application of colour provides a dramatic
view of the gothic town’s narrow cobbled street.
