About Lilies

“Lilies” is a flower painting created in 1914 by the artist Matthew Smith, associated with the Post-Impressionism art movement. The artwork features an intricate depiction of lilies, rendered in Smith’s distinct style, characterized by vibrant color and dynamic brushwork.

The artwork showcases a bouquet of lilies ensconced within an ornate vase, the flowers elegantly arranged and subtly arching. Each lily is meticulously detailed, with the white petals contrasting against the rich, deep blue background. The background itself is composed of broad, bold brushstrokes, adding a sense of depth and texture to the composition. The vase, adorned with intricate patterns and dominated by hues of red and brown, grounds the piece, providing a striking counterpoint to the delicate flowers. The lines and colors converge harmoniously, exemplifying the Post-Impressionist emphasis on expressive color and abstracted forms.
