Bouquet for Mary Lea 1957

"Bouquet for Mary Lea" is a 1957 work by American artist Morris Graves, known for his depictions of nature and spirituality. This watercolor painting features a simple yet powerful composition: a cluster of delicate white flowers arranged in a vase against a muted background. The minimalist style and subtle color palette evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and connection to the natural world, a recurring theme in Graves' work. This piece exemplifies his unique approach to abstraction, drawing inspiration from both Eastern philosophy and Western art traditions.
