Flowers
1915
Henry Lyman Sayen brings a riot of color to this 1915 still life, transforming a simple vase of flowers into a dizzying dance of shapes. Influenced by his time in Paris and the emerging Cubist and Orphist movements, he breaks down the traditional vase and blooms into bold, overlapping fragments of pink, yellow, and deep blue. Instead of a quiet bouquet on a table, the result feels like a jazz song visualized—energetic, fragmented, and utterly modern for its time.
