Before the painting

Beneath a clearing sky, a low thatched house, stone wall and bowed horse remain; the painting is governed by the pressure the storm has left behind.

Art-Historical Structure

The painting presents not the spectacular centre of the typhoon but its aftermath. The sky has opened, while roof, earth and bowed horse still carry pressure.

Disaster does not end when the wind stops. It remains as altered form and posture. Endurance means beginning again without pretending that nothing happened.

Key Sentence

The storm passes but does not vanish; house and body remember it through altered posture.CORE 23 · Typhoon · 1990
