By Sybil Andrews (1953)
Original Linocut, 33.0 x 23.0 cm
Sybil Andrews, a key figure of the Grosvenor School, imbued this striking linocut with the kinetic energy that so often defines the movement’s prints. While many of her contemporaries celebrated the dynamism of the machine age — evoking the relentless rhythm of trains, the velocity of motorcycles, and the industrial pulse of modernity — Storm offers a compelling departure. Here, the power conveyed is natural, visceral, and timeless: rural energy unleashed by elemental forces.
Great gusts of wind tear across the composition, animating every curve and angle with palpable motion. The figures and landscape twist and tilt in response, swept up in a maelstrom of motion that echoes the storm’s untamed spirit. Yet despite the chaos, there’s an inviting serenity at its core — a sense of exhilaration for those who find beauty in nature’s raw expressiveness. The road, though buffeted by wind, beckons the viewer to enter, to engage, to feel the thrill of being fully immersed in the environment.
