“Spring Song” is a symbolic painting by Lynd Ward, created within the Expressionism movement. The artwork features a dark silhouette of a figure holding an over-sized, detailed flower. The figure is depicted with understated, minimalist features, emphasizing the immense size of the flower in comparison. The roots of the flower, held by the figure, are intricate and elongated, suggesting a deep connection to the earth. The expression of the artwork, with its stark contrasts and symbolic elements, evokes a sense of profound, almost spiritual connection with nature, central to the themes of Expressionism. Through this symbolic painting, Ward portrays the depth and vitality of the natural world intertwined with human existence.
