Why It Matters
As a second, white-toned variant of the "Eclipse" motif, this print demonstrates Peterson's use of color variation to alter mood across a single composition. The eclipse subject, light obscured, aligns with his interest in darkness overtaking order, while the white treatment offers a starker, colder reading than its counterparts.
Collector Perspective
The 28 x 28 inch square format and edition of 150 place this among Peterson's collectible standard releases. As a named "II" variant, it appeals to collectors who track series and color permutations, and completists may seek it alongside the related "Eclipse (Gold)" issued in the same period.
Historical Context
Dated 2017, "Eclipse II" comes from the run of self-released prints preceding Peterson's more overtly political 2018 output. The eclipse imagery reflects his recurring metaphor of encroaching darkness, a visual shorthand for the collapse of light, reason, or civilization that runs throughout his body of work.
