I tried to include several different types of works. The incredible beauty of many flowers has given them added importance as decorative objects. Flowers are also an almost endless source of inspiration for poetry, stories and myths. Flower symbolism has existed almost as long as flowers themselves.
Artwork can be chosen with flower symbolism in mind. In addition, some flowers are associated with particular artists. Monet is famous for his water lilies, Georgia O’Keeffe is best known for her sensuous calla lilies and Vincent Van Gogh is associated with his portraits of sunflowers. Flower, tree, landscape symbolism are among the more prominent forms of symbolism that can add healing value to art. The continuing emergence of abstract art threatened the place of flower paintings in realism. Although the prosaic gardenscapes and still-life images traditional in flower paintings were relegated to the past during this period, the versatile forms of flowers actually revealed tremendous potential for more abstract images.
Georgia O'Keeffe successfully returned the flower to prominence with her series of close-ups of calla lilies. She wanted to have the viewer really look at the fundamental form of the flower without any preconceived notions. Her sensual flowers redefined the flower as a pure, almost geometric form.
The walls would be a light blue color like the background of the PowerPoint because the flower artworks are colorful enough that the background should be plain.
