The Tempest
Donald Shaw MacLaughlan captures the raw fury of a storm in this realist etching, where nature is clearly in charge. You can almost feel the wind howling as the trees bend dramatically to the right, their foliage whipped into a frenzy by the gale. Diagonal lines slash across the sky, representing driving rain that batters the landscape and the lone, huddled figure seeking shelter near the bottom. It's a masterclass in using line and texture to convey movement and atmosphere, making you want to pull your coat tighter just looking at it.
