The Apocalypse: The Revelation of Saint John the Divine

Jim Dine

1982

The image depicts an open book with two visible pages. On the left page, there is a black and white print of a man's head, shown from the shoulders up. The person's face is created using expressive strokes, giving it a textured appearance. The man appears to have a bald head, deep-set eyes, and pronounced facial lines. The background of the print is heavily textured in black and white. On the right page, there is text titled "THE APOCALYPSE" along with additional text about the source and the artist, Jim Dine, who created the woodblock prints. The artist's signature is visible on the page. The background of both pages is plain and off-white. The book is bound with visible stitching, and the wooden tabletop is slightly visible in the upper part of the image.
