Windows: Lois Dodd, Andrew Wyeth, Charles Ritchie

Lois Dodd, View Through Elliott's Shack Looking South

My look at Lois Dodd's window paintings has been cursory so I suspect that I may not be doing her justice, but it seems to me that her images do not carry the metaphorical, symbolic weight that the window images of Ritchie and Wyeth do.  Nor are they as compositionally complex.

The work above with its reflections and then its view through is the most complex exploitation of  a window's possibilities that I saw while looking at her work on the internet.  But it doesn't seem freighted with meaning of the kind that I see in the mysterious and slightly ominous darkness and compositional complexity  of Charles Ritchie's drawings  nor with the possibilities of hope that I see in the windows of Andrew Wyeth.

Not that I could do what any of the three of them has done.
