Three Things: Solitude Edition, II
2012 May 14
I’ve written before on the beauty of solitude, and I think it’s time for another moment of solitary reflection.
Last time, I featured the work of Edward Hopper to showcase those lost-in-thought moments. This week, I’ve pulled from a few of his contemporaries; behold: three mid-century solo thinkers. Let’s join them with our own wandering minds, yes?
Andrew Wyeth, Sandspit, 1953. Egg tempera on masonite. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Esther Bubley for the OWI, April 1943, Washington D.C. Photograph. Via Shorpy.
Alex Colville, Man on Verandah, 1953. Glazed tempera on board.

I love the photograph! It’s a gorgeous shot and it’s inspiring, to me. I feel like there are many stories that could be told with this as a starting point.
I agree! I love it, too. And I keep finding more details in it that I missed the first time… like the guy outside the window, peeking at the camera!
I didn’t even notice that guy! But yes, I agree, I see more details each time I look at it, too.
That guy adds so much!
