About the Item

The Vortex is one of twenty-six color lithographs from the Moby Dick: Passion of Ahab collection. Completed after Benton Spruance's unexpected death, this work is an interpretation of his original lithographs rather than being printed from his original stones. Priced accordingly, The Vortex captures the intense, swirling forces central to Melville’s narrative, echoing Spruance’s powerful vision of obsession and fate.
