Abstract of Flowers

Arthur Beecher Carles

American, 1882 - 1952

As an influential teacher, Arthur B. Carles orchestrated a modernist turn in Philadelphia still life. While his expressive use of color pushes this painting in the direction of pure abstraction, Carles maintains the recognizable and traditional still-life motif of blooming flowers.
