Lotus 1977

Lin Fengmian's "Lotus" (1977) is a striking example of the artist's mastery of the floral subject. The painting features a dense field of white lotus blossoms emerging from a dark, watery background. The contrasting colors of the white flowers against the deep blue and black create a sense of depth and serenity, evoking the tranquil beauty of nature. Lin Fengmian, a prominent figure in the Chinese art scene, was known for his exploration of traditional Chinese painting techniques and his bold use of color.
