Untitled 1935

"Untitled" (1935) by Morris Graves is a still life painting featuring a simple arrangement of wilted plants in a white pot, alongside a blue object and a white cloth. The artist, known for his minimalist and evocative works, captures a sense of quiet contemplation in the painting, drawing attention to the delicate beauty of the decaying flowers. The piece is characterized by a muted palette and a subtle interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the organic forms and textures of the objects. The lack of a background allows the viewer to focus on the central motif of the withered plant, symbolizing the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of beauty.
