They Call it Stormy Weather
Meteorologists aren't the only people who watch the sky. So do artists - for ideas, subjects and inspiration. They Call It Stormy Weather explores the numerous ways in which weather and the seasons have inspired artists throughout the ages. From thunderstorms on raging seas to sunny skies above spring fields, artists have responded to weather and other natural forces through a range of media and styles.
Some of the works in this educational exhibition use weather to directly represent a mood or state. Others convey more subtly the reflection of human experience in natural forces, while some reflect the spiritual meaning that weather holds for many artists. The 15 photographic reproductions were selected from the permanent collections at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
