EDITORS COMMENTS
by Will H. Low is a captivating print that transports viewers back to ancient Greece. This exquisite artwork, displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of Greek culture and mythology. In this black and white illustration, we see a mesmerizing depiction of Lamia, inspired by John Keats' poem of the same name. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes bring Lamia to life as she stands before her towering cityscape. The use of brown and gray gouache with touches of white adds depth and texture to the composition. Low's artistic skill shines through as he expertly captures both historical accuracy and poetic imagination in this piece. The viewer can almost feel themselves transported to ancient Greece, surrounded by its rich heritage and timeless beauty. The inclusion of a drinking fountain in the foreground adds an interesting element to the scene, inviting contemplation on themes such as sustenance, rejuvenation, or perhaps even temptation. "The Wide-Spreaded Night Above Her Towers" is not only a stunning work of art but also serves as a testament to Low's deep appreciation for literature and history. Through his masterful technique and attention to detail, he invites us into a world where myth meets reality – an enchanting journey that leaves us captivated long after we have left the gallery walls behind.
