Stormy Surf c. 1939

"Stormy Surf" is a 1939 lithograph by American artist Vernon Jay Morse (1898-1965). The piece depicts a dramatic seascape, with dark, storm clouds gathering over a rocky coastline. The crashing waves and the jagged rocks create a sense of movement and power, while the use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene. Morse's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the rocks and water, is evident in this print. The artwork evokes a sense of the raw power of nature and the beauty of the natural world. This black and white print is characteristic of Morse's style and a popular subject in his art.
