Image: Melissa Miller Flood 1983

Description: Painting by Melissa Miller, Flood (oil on linen, 59" × 95", 1983. Collection of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston). The image illustrates an early stage and body of work in Melissa Miller's career that began in the early 1980s, and brought her national recognition, in which she painted scenes featuring animals in moments of apprehension, fury or joy, that were noted for their original content, formal concerns, and technique: expressive, varied brushwork, idiosyncratic color, and sense of light and pattern. This work and similar works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues in the U.S., widely discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and acquired by major museums.
