Interpretation
This painting I have chosen is of an isolated scene of a woman who gazes out from her office into the street. The small proportion of the office hints of a grand scaled building; which is evident in the large columns. The dimmed artificial lights in the office have little effect in the space as it contrasts quite highly against the sunlight. The dark and dimmed office with its dark shadowing hints of mystery and the unknown.
The architecture of the office: 1960’s ideology of an office plan was a large open space so everyone could be observed and thus CONTROLLED (their aims where for greater efficiency in the work environment). This is expressed in this painting as the woman is standing in an open space as the male occupant overshadows her. The lady seems to be opening a letter, but she gazes out into the city, she appears to be dislocated from reality.
