Andrew Wyeth - ‘Wind from the sea’ - 1947

Of the few good works that our hometown’s fine art museum actually has, their Andrew Wyeth watercolor is one of my favorites—along with a small portrait by Robert Henri. This is not that Wyeth, but certainly recalls the painting. I remember it being the opposite view, looking into a house from outside an open window; the sheer curtains blowing outwards from the dense dark of the interior; the sill’s white paint cracking, exposing the old wood underneath. The stark white of the house paint is the untouched paper, of course, contrasting with the delicate bleeds of color throughout a single fallen leaf. Like this painting above, it’s just a moment, a pause in the wind, an eternal autumn.
For a while they had it hung alongside a subpar watercolor by Pearlstein, in a large salon style room, meant to hold the entirety of the modern works from their permanent collection. A fucking horrid room for one of those works that’s experienced just so much better in person, in the quiet of the gallery.
