Wood Block Print by Michael Miller: "Great Wave Revisited", Framed

The most famous wave in art, redrawn in black and white, and not calming down.

Great Wave Revisited is a framed wood block print by Michael Miller, made around 1976 in ink on Arches paper and signed as an artist's proof. Its title tips a hat to Hokusai's Great Wave, perhaps the most reproduced woodblock print ever made. Artists pull proofs to judge a block before an edition, and many keep them. Curling crests pile up across the sheet, cut in thick black masses and thin white lines. A dark gadrooned frame surrounds a wide mat. It measures 32.5 inches wide by 32 high.

Nobody here is going surfing.
