My first view of it was not at @TateStIves, where it currently hangs, but on a computer screen, small and confined. Even so, it had me bewitched. I love it for many reasons, not least for its beauty: all those ever-pouring blues. Painted in 1960 – a year after Lanyon learned to glide, four years before he died of injuries sustained in a gliding accident – it is the work of art that, more than any other, comes to mind when I consider the ways in which all of us see, and do not see, the natural world. [...] I love Lanyon’s painting most of all for this: however fiercely we are taught that the natural world exists out there, 'Thermal' is a reminder that we’re in the environment, all of us; we’re not just walking around on it or looking at it from afar. It’s all over us, it is in us, it is through us. It is us. It’s easy to feel that the climate emergency is something remote from us, too, that it is happening elsewhere. Thinking in this way is partly a form of psychological protection; it lets us regard our current situation with a measure of equanimity. But it is happening here, it is happening to us, it is us, and it is happening all the time.' Helen Macdonald writes on the natural world, climate crisis and how the events of 2020 made her see Peter Lanyon's 'Thermal' 1960 in a new light.
