Concarneau, a coastal town in Brittany, France, was a popular destination for artists since the late 1800s due to its enduring visible heritage. Historical buildings and fishing lifestyles were preserved, giving the town a timeless nature. In this image, Edwin Kaufman depicts a marina as seen from the Ville Close, a medieval walled area that is surrounded by the harbor. Instead of invoking the city’s history, he presents an airy, bustling dock. The sketchy figures are rendered as scribbles, filling the scene with playful motion.
