Gallery LabelThis melodramatic print recalls the spooky bare trees favored by British illustrators of the time like Arthur Rackham (1867–1939), or, for that matter, the fantastical dendroids of Roxy Paine (b. 1966), one of whose works can be seen outside the Bloch Building in the Sculpture Park. In this drypoint, the branches reach out like the tentacles of an octopus or a man-eating spider, driven by the high wind.
