Figurative painting a blonde woman seated in front of a portrait at The Metropolitan Museum of Art "Look Back" painted by Judith Wyer, in 2020 oil on linen 20 x 15 inches unframed, 20.25 x 15.25 inches with natural wood frame Artist signature, verso This figurative painting was made by Connecticut based artist, Judith Wyer, in 2020. The painting captures a scene of a young blonde woman gazing at a portrait at the Metropolitan Museum. The woman in the 18th century portrait with the gilded frame seems to be the same age as the seated viewer, so, as the title suggests, we get the sense that the modern day woman is 'looking back' on what it may had been like to be alive when the portrait was painted. The piece is complemented with a natural dark wood frame and is in excellent condition. Artist Statement: Making a painting is a journey with an unknown destination.. In this respect, I consider my process much like a writer where the narrative seems to develop itself. The relationship of the word and the image is crucial. My work often begins with a photograph of a captivating image, a fleeting moment of everyday existence. From this I begin the process of developing the narrative which most often requires numerous edits and lengthy periods of just looking at the work and not touching it. This can take years. The work and I grow together which hopefully yields a provocative and intimate elucidation of the human condition. Once I arrive on a title, which is almost never at the outset, everything comes into sharper focus and the work's form and meaning come into closer agreement. . In fact, I never consider a piece finished. The challenge of one piece informs the next which sometimes leads to resurrecting an incomplete piece from the past. My attic is full of such unfinished works.The words of Diego Velazquez continue to guide me, "Es Verdad, No Pintura." Artist Resume: Judith Wyer is an artist based in Connecticut.
