The artwork titled “Flower Girl” was created by the artist Lynd Ward in 1966 in the United States. The piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is categorized as a symbolic painting.
In this striking piece, a young girl is depicted standing, seemingly poised to walk through a lush, dynamic landscape of exaggerated and intricate flora. The girl, rendered in a heavy contrast of black and white, holds a bouquet of flowers close to her, her contemplative gaze directed towards the enveloping vegetation. The scene is infused with dense foliage, represented in bold, swirling patterns, which evokes a sense of movement and vitality. The use of sharp, jagged lines and dynamic forms typical of Expressionism invites viewers to experience the symbolic weight of the natural elements in the scene. The artwork conveys deeper emotional and symbolic resonance, urging a reflection on the relationship between the human figure and the overwhelming, almost aggressive presence of nature.
