A Rare Plant 

"A Rare Plant" is a vibrant and whimsical print by South African artist Walter Battiss (1906-1982). It features a stylized human-like figure with a prominent nose and outstretched arms that appear to be delicately holding a single flower. The work is characterized by its bold, flat colors and simple geometric forms, reminiscent of the artist's fascination with African art and folklore. Battiss's playful approach to human and nature imagery exemplifies his unique style of "African Modernism", which sought to explore the intersection of modern art techniques and indigenous African themes.
