The artwork titled “Inclement Weather,” created by Grace Hartigan in 1970, belongs to the art movements of Neo-Expressionism and Pop Art. It falls within the figurative genre.
The artwork features a vivid and dynamic composition populated by a myriad of abstract, yet figuratively suggestive forms in a cacophony of bold, contrasting colors. The scene includes various intertwined shapes and figures that convey a sense of movement and tension. Integrating elements typical of both Neo-Expressionism and Pop Art, the piece merges intense emotional expression with vibrant, pop culture-inspired imagery. The prominent use of line and varied texture adds depth and complexity to the chaotic, yet internally cohesive visual narrative, reflecting the tumultuous nature suggested by the title “Inclement Weather.”
