The Image I Like In Tate Modern




The artist of this painting is John Singer Sargent Carnation and the name of his painting is Lily,Lily,Rose (1885-6).

Painting and gardening both involve working with colour.Garden have seen as living pictures.Painting might seen more permanent than gardens,but the analogy between petals and pigments focuses our attention on the fragile nature of the expressive materials of both paintings and gardens.This is a stunning painting,lots of things going on.The glow on the bottom hand of the girl at the left is really amazing!!!
