"Pinwheel" is an abstract painting created by American artist William Baziotes in 1958. The artwork features a light blue, almost white, pinwheel-like shape set against a backdrop of muted, reddish-brown. It is a powerful example of Baziotes' artistic style, which often combined biomorphic shapes with a dreamlike, almost surreal, atmosphere. Although the subject matter is not explicitly stated, "Pinwheel" invites the viewer to interpret its meaning and explore the world of abstraction.
