Lotus — Fine Art

Lotus - 1945 by Morris Graves shows a single lotus form set against a plain field. The petals bend outward from a low center with simple outlines. The grey tones stay close and quiet. You read the shape well from the far end of the hall.

Up close the thin lines of the lotus sit on a flat ground. The fine art print sits with the printed surface flat against the wall. A light frame works on a darker wall, while a wood frame joins oak furniture.

The matte finish holds the grey tones without glare. This fine art print belongs in a reading corner above a chair. From the doorway the lotus reads as one soft shape. Sitting down you notice the narrow lines and the still centre of the flower.
