Minesweepers in Port
Edward Alexander Wadsworth British
Not on view
Minesweepers were ships that helped locate and detonate sea mines in order to safeguard shipping lanes and ensure that the Germans did not create a naval blockade. In this small print, Wadsworth compressed the space between the ship, the bridge, and other elements in the composition, thus blurring distinctions between object and field to create a sense of visual confusion tantamount to encountering a dazzle ship at sea.
