Week 17 - Episode 93 - Clouds in Art

May 16, 2019

Clouds have been depicted by artists all over the world, and not just in landscapes.

They are a wonderful device to allow things to vanish - and suddenly reappear, as the above fierce dragon.

They can be reflected in art, as in Anish Kapoor’s mesmerising Cloud Gate (which I can’t wait to see in real life).

They can mess with your head, as in so many works by Surrealist painter René Magritte.

Or you can dance around them, thanks to Andy Warhol’s Silver Clouds installation.

Today, look for art in which clouds play a major role.
