A dark splash of coffee and a stream of pouring white cream twist together in mid-air above a plain white cup and saucer, taking the shape of two dancers caught mid-turn. The cream arcs down from an unseen pitcher at the upper right and feeds the swirl below, while the coffee splash doubles as the cup's contents cresting upward, a visual pun that turns an everyday pour into a duet. Set against a stark white background with no other props, the piece relies on precise fluid rendering rather than the bar and casino imagery found across much of Godard's catalog, a reminder of the range his bold, high-contrast style can cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"godard-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs Waking Waltz signed and numbered?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaking Waltz's Signed and Numbered edition carries Michael Godard's hand signature along with its individual number.

That musical background gives a piece like Waking Waltz, with its sense of rhythm and movement, a foundation that goes beyond visual composition alone. Godard has always thought like a performer as much as a painter, and the timing and exaggeration in his work owe as much to years on stage as to his formal art training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Michael Godard","offers":[{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 28\" x 37.5\" Artist Proof Edition of 50","offer_id":49218611118250,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 17.5\" x 23\" G Edition of 250","offer_id":49218611151018,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 28\" x 37.5\" Signed and Numbered Edition of 300","offer_id":49218611183786,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 40\" x 53\" M Edition of 50","offer_id":49218611216554,"sku":null,"price":3995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/2238\/3935\/files\/wakingwaltzmichaelgodard.jpg?v=1788964809","url":"https:\/\/michaelgodardgallery.com\/products\/michael-godard-waking-waltz","provider":"Michael Godard Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
