About Iris, Tulips, Jonquils, and Crocuses

“Iris, Tulips, Jonquils, and Crocuses” is a notable abstract artwork created by Alma Woodsey Thomas in 1969. This piece is representative of the Color Field Painting movement, characterized by large areas of solid color and an impression of endlessness. The painting manifests a form of abstract expressionism.

The artwork exhibits an array of vibrant colors and is composed of vertical, multicolored lines that seem to cascade down the canvas. The lines are made up of smaller, mosaic-like pieces, with the dominant colors being blue, red, yellow, and green. Each stripe presents a different combination of these hues, suggesting the diversity and beauty of flowers such as irises, tulips, jonquils, and crocuses, as mentioned in the title. The overall effect is one of rhythm and harmony, evoking a sense of organic movement and natural beauty.
