Pierre Bonnard would often paint scenes through windows (as above), the whole picture highly patterned and lit by the Mediterranean sun. John Bratby's images were of a far more British and urban scene. The colours are more muted and the whole picture plain is divided up into a grid by the window panes and the net curtain.
Rachel Eardley illustration of a scene out of her back window is just as urban, but the delicate line work emphasises the rows of terrace houses and the tiled roofs.
David Hockney's 'joiner' photo technique has been used here to recreate the scene out of a Miami window. The only curved lines being those of the little balcony.
Edward Hopper reversed the idea by looking into windows, making them look like little theatres, making us wonder about the lives of the people playing out inside.
