Waterpond in a Landscape III 1966

  

oil on canvas 152.5 x 122.0 cm (Private collection)

    
      By Waterpond III, the identical landscape is thrown flat up against the surface of the painting so that pictorial elements are alienated from their identifiable context. With the omission of the horizon line, the viewer no longer has a marker with which to orientate him/herself in space. This painting signals movement towards a greater abstraction in Williams' work.
