Lot 194A
Forrest Lee Moses (American, 1934-2021). Framed monotype on paper, undated. Signed "Moses" at lower right. A stunning monotype depicting red poppies and purple irises blossoming in a field by American artist Forrest Moses. Moses brought the flowers right up to the picture plane, creating an intriguing visual tension between representation and abstraction rendered in a fresh color palette that suggests the early spring. Moses did not disclose the location of this composition. This was not important to him. Instead, he sought, in his own words, "to discover nature's truth and give life to a painted image by understanding the rhythms and pulses behind appearances."
