October Interior 1963

Fairfield Porter's "October Interior" (1963) is a quintessential example of his style, characterized by the artist's focus on everyday scenes. The painting, likely a depiction of his own home, captures the warm light of autumn through the windows, illuminating the interior space. The relaxed figure seated in a chair, perhaps Porter's wife, adds a sense of intimacy to the scene. The presence of a rocking horse and a glimpse of a child in the garden through the window suggest the domesticity and tranquility of the setting, themes that are central to Porter's work.
