Water Lilies

Alexander Patrick Fleming

Associated Names

Alexander Patrick Fleming

Artist, American, born Canada, 1908 - 1983

The image features round, overlapping lily pads as the largest objects. They dominate the composition and surround a central open water lily flower. The color palette is primarily black, white, and varying grays, creating a monochromatic feel. The lily pads spread across the top and left sides of the frame, framing the white water lily towards the center bottom. The water lily's petals gently unfold amidst the dark lily pads.
