In the rugged winter landscape of Iceland, an Icelandic Horse stands weather beaten with its thick, shaggy coat protecting it from the biting cold. As two moons cast a haunting glow in a black and white photo, their ethereal presence adds to the mystique of the weather-beaten surroundings. Jim Norris, a resilient homesteader in Pie Town, New Mexico during 1940, epitomizes the spirit of perseverance as he faces harsh elements that have left him weather beaten. Captured by Russell Lee's lens, his determined gaze reflects years of battling against nature's forces. Wolf Robe, captured in a timeless black and white photograph from 1909, showcases a Native American elder whose face tells stories etched by time and exposure to unforgiving elements. His stoic expression reveals wisdom gained through countless seasons spent outdoors. A blasted tree depicted in an 1850 painting by Jasper Francis Cropsey serves as a testament to nature's fury. Its twisted branches stand stark against an ominous sky—a symbol of resilience amidst destruction—weather beaten but still standing tall. From centuries past comes "Man with a Tankard, " an oil painting on panel dating back to 1739. The worn features on this man's face hint at years spent enduring life's hardships—a visual representation of someone who has been weather beaten both physically and emotionally. Still Life paintings depicting pears and apples from the 18th-19th century capture these fruits' beauty even after being exposed to time's relentless passage. Their slightly wrinkled skins reveal how they have become subtly weather beaten over many seasons yet remain vibrant symbols of endurance. Antonio Concha emerges as "Old Man of Taos" in Gerald Cassidy's portrait from 1924—an elderly figure whose deeply lined face bears witness to decades spent under Taos' intense sun and unpredictable climate. Weather beaten but full of character, he embodies strength forged through experience.
