The artwork titled “Cathy,” created by artist Catherine Murphy in 2001, belongs to the Photorealism art movement and falls within the figurative genre.
The artwork depicts a fogged-up window with the name “Cathy” etched in reverse from the viewer’s perspective. The letters are written in a careful manner, and the condensation on the windowpane is meticulously rendered. Behind the window, there is a blurred outdoor scene that seems to include leafless trees, suggesting a cold environment. The realistic depiction of the foggy glass and the reflections indicates an extraordinary level of detail and skill, characteristic of the Photorealism movement.
