The Tall Flowers 

Logan Maxwell Hagege painted “The Tall Flowers,” depicting two figures amidst a field of hollyhocks. These tall flowers, with their upward thrust, command our attention, symbolizing growth and aspiration. Consider the recurring motif of the horse, an enduring symbol of power and freedom. From the equestrian statues of Roman emperors to Renaissance battle scenes, the horse has been a steadfast companion of humanity, evolving from a symbol of brute force to one of refined elegance. This image taps into our collective memory, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, more harmonious existence. The figures themselves, adorned in traditional garments, represent the dignity and resilience of indigenous cultures. The painting invites us to consider the cyclical nature of history, where ancient symbols resurface, transformed yet still potent, in the modern world. It speaks to our deepest emotions, reminding us of the enduring power of nature and the human spirit.
