Clouds 1997

Avigdor Arikha's 1997 painting "Clouds" presents a minimalist view of the sky through a window, showcasing his signature realistic style. The painting emphasizes the simple beauty of everyday life, a recurring theme in Arikha's work. The viewer is drawn into the scene through the open window, where the white clouds against the blue sky become the focal point of the painting. The muted color palette of the painting and its simplified composition, with the window frame framing the sky, create a sense of tranquility and stillness, inviting contemplation of nature's beauty.
