Chair, Skowhegan I
Edwin Walter Dickinson
"Chair, Skowhegan I," is an image of a white wicker chair turned on its side on the floor. The broad curve of the chair faces the viewer. The background is simply the corner of an empty studio interior and wood floor. The bird's eye view of the chair presents a common object from a different perspective. The palette of the painting is reduced to various shades of white, gray, black and brown.
