Original Description
Ethel L. Spowers’ The Gust of Wind (Coppel ES 15) is a captivating linocut print that exemplifies the modernist energy of early 20th-century Australian art. Created in the 1930s during her association with the Grosvenor School – a hub for progressive printmaking – the work showcases Spowers’ mastery of dynamic composition and rhythmic linework. The image depicts children struggling against a powerful gust, their skirts billowing and hair swept sideways in a lively abstract pattern. Spowers’ simplified forms and bold contrasts reflect her adoption of Futurist principles, distilling movement into geometric harmonies. As one of Australia’s foremost female printmakers, she helped elevate linocuts from craft to fine art status internationally. The work represents a pivotal moment when Australian artists synthesized European avant-garde influences into distinctive local expressions, making it historically significant in collections like the National Gallery of Australia.
For interiors, The Gust of Wind lends modernist flair with its graphic impact. Its monochromatic scheme suits minimalist spaces needing organic movement – pair with Scandinavian wood furniture or sleek mid-century pieces for cohesion. Alternatively, create tension by hanging it among earthy terracotta tones or deep greens that mirror nature’s forces depicted. The standard A3-size linocut works best as a gallery wall focal point or paired with smaller botanical prints in matching black frames. In offices, position it near seating areas to energize the space; its theme of resilience subtly inspires productivity. Opt for matte white framing to accentuate the stark black-white contrast, ensuring adequate wall space around it to appreciate the swirling negative space. Its universal theme of human interaction with nature makes it versatile for both creative studios and corporate environments seeking thoughtful sophistication.
