EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of "Midocean" captures the essence of a tumultuous night at sea. Painted by Lowell Birge Harrison in the early 20th century, this oil on canvas artwork depicts a scene filled with ominousness and gloom. The absence of any human presence adds to the negative concept conveyed by the stormy atmosphere. The artist skillfully portrays adverse conditions through his use of dark colors and natural light, creating a sense of desolation and bleakness. The reflection of the cloudy sky on the water's surface further enhances this feeling, as if nature itself is reflecting the turmoil within. Despite its late 19th-century setting, "Midocean" evokes a timeless quality that resonates with viewers even today. The looming horizon over water hints at an impending tempest, while rays of sunlight struggle to break through the clouds, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. This painting showcases Harrison's mastery in capturing atmospheric effects and his ability to convey emotions through brushstrokes alone. It serves as a reminder that nature can be both awe-inspiring and fearsome, leaving us humbled by its power. "Midocean" is an exceptional example of American painting from the early 20th century and remains relevant for art enthusiasts interested in exploring themes such as meteorology, natural space, and our relationship with adverse weather conditions.
