The artwork titled “Tahiti,” created by Ivan Albright in 1969, is a work associated with the Impressionism movement and belongs to the marina genre.
The artwork depicts a serene seascape, rendered in shades of gray using pencil. Central to the composition is a solitary sailboat, its sails catching an unseen breeze, gliding smoothly over the gentle waves. To the right, a small rowboat carries three figures, seemingly engaged in a leisurely activity amidst the tranquil waters. The horizontal expanse of water extends to meet a distant shore, where rocky formations rise majestically against a backdrop of subtly clouded skies. The careful detailing and textured shading imbue the scene with a sense of calm and timelessness, characteristic of the Impressionist focus on light and atmosphere.
