Far Away Thoughts, 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John William Godward is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers to a serene coastal setting. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of light and color are evident in this early twentieth-century masterpiece. In the painting, we see a young woman seated on a balcony overlooking the shoreline. Her profile is delicately framed by her dark hair, which cascades down her back. Lost in contemplation, she gazes downward with an expression of introspection and tranquility. The circular shape of the balcony creates a harmonious contrast against the vast natural space surrounding it. The soft furnishings add an element of comfort and elegance to the scene, while also emphasizing the woman's graceful posture. Godward's classicist style shines through in his depiction of the female form, capturing both beauty and poise. The artist skillfully portrays the play of light on water as it stretches out towards infinity, inviting us to ponder our own faraway thoughts. This artwork serves as a testament to British art during this period and showcases Godward's talent for creating evocative scenes that transport viewers into another world. "Far Away Thoughts" invites us to pause from our busy lives and immerse ourselves in moments of quiet reflection by connecting with nature's timeless beauty.
