Of an Incandescent Memory 2020

"Of an Incandescent Memory" is a 2020 painting by Lanise Howard, showcasing a mother breastfeeding her baby. The image is rendered in a hyper-realistic style, with a focus on the intimate connection between the mother and child. The use of color blocks, primarily a vertical grid of various shades of blue and brown, adds a unique visual element to the composition, suggesting both the passage of time and the digital world that surrounds us. The windows in the background, with their depictions of a mountain landscape, further emphasize the theme of memory and a connection to nature. This piece explores themes of motherhood, intimacy, and the digital age.
