Untitled [Walking Rains] c. 1937

Edward Laning’s 1937 print, *Untitled [Walking Rains]*, is a striking example of American Regionalism. Depicting a landscape in grayscale, the work features a dramatic storm cloud above rolling hills and a field of bushes, rendered in a detailed, almost tactile, manner. Laning's use of light and shadow, particularly the contrast of the dark, swirling clouds against the lighter hills, adds depth and a sense of movement to the piece. The print suggests the artist's fascination with nature, particularly the power of the elements, and invites viewers to contemplate the beauty and transience of the natural world.
