Ask a Question
Harriet Kline uses rectangles as a repetitious unit in order to create a black, void background for her examination. The gaps between the rectangles separate the individual parts and emphasize the flower, while contributing to the overall mosaic-like composition of the piece. Disparate forms speckled with grey simulate the elements—perhaps snow, wind, or rain. The viewer is left with an impression of a specimen splayed out for dissection, hence the title, Anatomy of a Flower. Dusty pink petals are arranged in a ring, their rounded and folded curves contrasted by the sharp and frayed green sepals that frame them laterally. At the center of the piece is not a petal, but another sepal or stamen surrounded by very fine spattering, suggestive of pollen within the bud, shielded by the corolla. ~ Gabrielle Discafani, Student at Rutgers University, Master of Arts in Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies, Center for Art Law Spring 2021 Graduate Intern.
