Original Description
Charles William Bartlett’s A Stormy Crossing is a mesmerizing woodblock print that vividly captures the raw power and dynamism of nature at sea. Created during Bartlett’s time in Japan (1915–1919), the artwork reflects his mastery of shin-hanga, a early 20th-century art movement revitalizing traditional ukiyo-e techniques with modern sensibilities. The composition thrums with energy: frothy waves crash against a fragile boat, its sails taut against howling winds, while a brooding sky looms overhead—rendered in Bartlett’s signature blend of Western realism and Japanese minimalist elegance. This piece exemplifies his ability to distill dramatic narratives into harmonious, flattened planes of color, bridging Eastern and Western aesthetics. Today, A Stormy Crossing is celebrated as a testament to Bartlett’s cross-cultural influence and remains pivotal in discussions of early modernist printmaking.
For interior styling, A Stormy Crossing commands attention with its bold contrasts and kinetic energy, making it ideal for spaces craving depth and movement. Hang it in a study or executive office to inject dynamism—pair with mid-century wood furniture and muted earth tones to let its Prussian blues and stormy grays take center stage. In a coastal-themed living room, layer it with textured linens and driftwood accents to amplify its maritime drama. Opt for a medium-large size (approximately 24x36 inches) to preserve detail without overwhelming; gilt or black matte frames enhance its timeless quality. The print’s subdued yet evocative palette also complements industrial lofts or minimalist spaces, where its narrative tension becomes a striking focal point against clean lines and neutral backdrops.
