Flower Power: In Living Color Throughout history

Flower Power: In Living Color Throughout history, flowering plants and scented blooms have never failed to captivate the senses of millions of people. In fact, some were so enchanted by the essence of flowers that they devoted a large portion of their lives to capturing their images on canvas. These artists in particular were diligent about their portrayals of nature's most beautiful life forms. Georgia O’Keeffe, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Cezanne all managed to successfully interpret the world of flowers around them in capturing the vibrancy in color, shape and composition.
