desimonewayland:Andrew WyethNight Hauling 1944Tempera on masoniteBowdoin College Museum of Art, Brunswick, MaineNight Hauling was painted by the twenty-seven-year-old Andrew Wyeth at the height of World War Two. Set against the Maine coast in Port Clyde, where Wyeth’s family summered, it depicts a shadowy lobsterman hauling in a trap under cover of darkness, the scene lit only by the figure’s concealed lamp and the water’s startling nocturnal phosphorescence. -- source link
