Seated Figure 1955

Judith Godwin’s “Seated Figure” is a 1955 abstract painting that evokes a sense of both energy and stillness. The composition is dominated by bold, geometric shapes in shades of blue, black, and white, which are arranged in a dynamic, almost architectural fashion. The use of thick, impastoed paint creates a textural surface, further emphasizing the painting's three-dimensionality. Godwin's work explores the relationship between form and space, inviting viewers to engage with the abstract form and consider its potential meanings. Her use of color and form create a sense of depth and movement, suggesting that the painting is both a physical object and a representation of something beyond the visible world.
