Winter c. 1927

"Winter" is a c. 1927 abstract watercolor on paper by Wilson Irvine (1869-1936), known for his experiments with color and form. The work, measuring 20.32 x 17.78 cm, features a swirling, dynamic composition of earthy colors, such as greens, browns, oranges, and blues. The abstract forms are reminiscent of landscapes or natural elements, suggesting a wintery scene with a focus on the fluidity of water, ice, and snow. Irvine's approach to abstraction, influenced by the artistic movements of his time, invites viewers to interpret the artwork's meaning and experience its emotional and visual impact.
