I lowkey love bro 🙁
George Peter Lanyon (8 February 1918 – 31 August 1964) was a Cornish painter of landscapes leaning heavily towards abstraction. Lanyon was one of the most important artists to emerge in post-war Britain. Despite his early death at the age of forty-six he achieved a body of work that is amongst the most original and important reappraisals of modernism in painting to be found anywhere. Combining abstract values with radical ideas about landscape and the figure, Lanyon navigated a course from Constructivism through Abstract Expressionism to a style close to Pop. He also made constructions, pottery and collage.

It is hard to believe that these monuments were once burial chambers, the soil encasing the stones having now eroded away. Based upon an old engraving, it is thought that the monument was at one time much taller as a man on horseback is shown sheltering under it! The present setting of stones is a reconstruction after one of the stones broke during storms in 1815. Scanned from my original Kodachrome 64 35mm slide, taken 1980 with Nikon FM.

Lanyon Quoit is a dolmen near Penzance. A dolmen, also known as a cromlech, portal tomb, portal grave or quoit, is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of two or more megaliths supporting a large flat horizontal capstone ("table"), although there are also more complex variants. Most date from the early Neolithic (4000-3000 BCE). Dolmens were typically covered with earth or smaller stones to form a tumulus. In many instances, that covering has weathered away, leaving only the stone “skeleton” of the burial mound intact.

Lanyon Quoit is an imposing dolmen that dominates the open landscape in which it sits. Found on the moorland near Madron in Penwith, it is thought to originally have been a burial chamber and would have been covered with smaller stones and earth. The structure originally had four supports and stood taller than at present. But in a massive storm in 1815 one of the stone uprights snapped and the structure was re-erected on the remaining three supports.
