Storm 1937

"Storm" is a 1937 etching by Kerr Eby (1889-1946) depicting a group of figures huddled on a rocky cliff overlooking a stormy sea. The dark, swirling sky and crashing waves create a sense of unease and foreboding, highlighting the artist's interest in capturing dramatic natural phenomena. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the print creates a sense of depth and texture, further emphasizing the turbulent atmosphere of the scene. Eby's work often focused on the interplay of light and shadow, which is evident in this piece as well. The print, which likely depicts a coastal scene, is a testament to Eby's mastery of etching, a technique that he often used to express the power of nature.
