Combining historical and contemporary treatments of weather and climate in art, this catalog features masterworks from 1500 through the present day that engage with weather, meteorology, and climate. Facing the Elements is uniting two exhibitions at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts. Essays on the four elements, women and weather, peril, and satire reveal changing attitudes following the Scientific evolution, while interviews with a climate scientist and a psychologist, and an essay on an immersive nstallation by artists Christa Donner and Andrew S. Yang explore our physical relationship with climate today. From ersonifications to the sense of touch, and from storm-tossed peril to scientific progress, these artworks foreground the human connection to our atmosphere. Plates include unique graphic interventions by Donner and Yang made exclusively for the publication.
