Set on a remote island, Shakespeare's The Tempest is an ideal subject for artist Rose Wylie, whose work frequently references classic stories and well-known characters.
Likely the last play written entirely by Shakespeare, The Tempest brings together various themes the bard explored in his prior plays, including magic, revenge and forgiveness, order and society, and nature versus art. The shipwreck and remote island, the spirits, and the dukes and their children, offer rich material for Wylie's works on paper and canvas.
As the third title in David Zwirner Books's Seeing Shakespeare series, this book pairs a complex narrative with equally layered works by a contemporary artist who approaches the play and art-making from a unique perspective.
