A wonderful piece by George Grie, this work is a surreal landscape. The ship depicted, The Flying Dutchman, is excellently portrayed not only by it's ghostly features, but also by the negative space around it. Grie seems to use the image of the sea and menacing sky to reflect the ships eeriness. In addition, like in many of Grie's other pieces, the black and white coloring adds alot of drama to an already very dramatic and surrealist work. The interesting thing that Grie does in this piece is make the Flying Dutchman look like a ship while also incorporating some building-like qualities to it, perhaps signifying its permanence of forever sailing the sea?
