The artwork titled “Jetty” by Peter Doig, falls under the genre of landscape painting, and is a representative piece within the Magic Realism movement.
In the artwork, a solitary figure stands on a jetty, gazing into a serene expanse of water. The calm water, rendered with subtle hues of blue and purple, reflects the tranquility of the scene. In the background, a canoe with occupants quietly traverses the still waters, adding a sense of depth and narrative to the composition. The surrounding environment, with its muted and contemplative palette, encapsulates the mysterious and evocative qualities intrinsic to Magic Realism. The application of colors and strokes further induces a dreamlike atmosphere, prevailing throughout the landscape, which seamlessly integrates the natural elements with the ethereal undertones.
