Morning Glories by Jennifer Bartlett (1984)

Twin morning glories, one cobalt, one emerald, rise against a grid. Morning Glories is Bartlett’s quiet rebellion—nature plotted on graph paper. The flowers are built from tiny enamel dots, their stems a single black line that bends but never breaks. Behind them, a pale grid stretches like ruled notebook paper, each square the same size, each square empty except for the occasional stray dot. The contrast isn’t loud; it’s deliberate. Above a mid-century credenza or beside a kitchen window, the poster lets the grid breathe while the flowers do the talking.
