Label TextHobart Nichols' expressive depiction of a group of buildings closed in by a winter storm epitomizes a feeling of isolation. The artist wrote of a similar scene, "Who could have hoped to survive the storms and rigor of bleak winter in such a location?" In Nichols' scene, the storm is an aggressor, filling the sky with darkness and offering no reprieve.
