Reading through chapter four, "Illusion of Space, Illusion of Motion" of Launching the Imagination brought me back to an image found in chapter two. In regards to space and perspective, Andrew Wyeth's "Wind from the Sea" from 1947 is a bit confusing to me. At first glance I did not understand what was going on outside the window frame. Perhaps this is just because there is not much in the scenery surrounding the road, but I found this image to be confusing. While I love the look of the blowing sheer curtains, I don't quite understand Wyeth's perspective for the rest of the painting.

Thought provoking
ReplyDeleteJust looking at the image, before reading your post I never saw what was out the window. My attention was captured by the "movement" of the curtains.
ReplyDeleteTrue. The painting is probably more about the curtains than anything.
