Alice Harold Murphy
Alice Harold Murphy, The Wave

1940

About the Item

The title, The Wave, lends itself to suggesting that the woman (with her long, flowing hair) is personifying the wave. Or is she one with the wave? Is she pushing the water in perhaps? She seems to be encountering a shell and another sea creature too. Signed, titled, and annotated 'edition of 30,' in pencil.
