“Charles Demuth is widely regarded as one of the most talented watercolorists in the history of American art. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his still life compositions. With a discerning eye and sharp attention to detail, Demuth faithfully depicts familiar objects with liveliness and modernity that are quintessential to him. The intentional “unfinished” quality of Iris—with its select flowers and stems left uncolored—further undermines the realism traditionally associated with still life compositions, bringing the genre into the 1930s.”

I agree – I don’t know how he infused such life into this watercolor. These flowers seem to be bending to a gentle breeze. 🙂
