The artwork “Squall,” created by Andrew Wyeth, belongs to the Contemporary Realism movement and exemplifies the genre of interior art.
In the artwork, a serene yet evocative scene captures the viewer’s attention. The setting appears to be a simple, unadorned room, where a yellow raincoat and a pair of binoculars hang on wooden pegs affixed to the wall. The window reveals a view of the tumultuous sea, implying a stormy atmosphere outside. To the right, an open door frames a landscape featuring a pathway leading upward, possibly along a grassy dune. The interplay of light and shadow, the meticulous detail of the textures, and the careful composition create a sense of contemplation and introspection, hallmarks of Wyeth’s style in the realm of Contemporary Realism.
