Published February 28, 2025 - 1:00 p.m. Modified February 28, 2025 - 1:00 p.m. As featured on - Zoë Stiler's solo show 'The River, The Cyclone, and Other Stories' is haunting and enchanting It’s hard to make good narrative paintings of spirit-haunted, Jungian landscapes, and very easy to make bad ones. What separates a psychologically meaningful archetype from a pretentious cliche? When does a luminous landscape devolve from the deeply felt presence of a J.M.W. Turner or a Jake Berthot into the cringeworthy kitsch of a Thomas Kinkade? Why do Odilon Redon's magical landscapes still frighten and enchant us, while other artists' dreamscapes bore us to tears?
