Story

A white blossom with dark and gold petals rises from a brown vase, set against a black and cream background arranged in diamond shapes, giving the composition a flattened, patterned quality. The piece was made with oil on commercial wallboard in 1916. Marsden Hartley (1877–1943), an American artist, worked within Expressionism and Dada, bringing a geometric sensibility to this still life.

Where it works

A warm-toned still life suited to living rooms and dining rooms, and to hotel guest rooms, in a vertical format.
