EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: The Paris Box, Circa 1914 This still life painting, dated circa 1914, showcases a unique and intriguing composition of a floral patterned cylindrical box, spilling balls of wool with their entrails, and a vase of poppies standing boldly behind. The Paris Box, as it could be titled, is an exquisite example of the artistic exploration of texture, color, and form that characterized the early 20th century. The box, adorned with a delicate floral pattern, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The balls of wool, with their entrails spilling out, create a sense of chaos and disorder, contrasting the orderly and graceful vase of poppies. The poppies, with their vibrant red hues and full bloom, stand proudly behind the box, adding a pop of color and a touch of natural beauty. The use of color in this painting is noteworthy, with the muted tones of the box and the bold, bright colors of the poppies creating a striking contrast. The artist, Leslie Harvey, masterfully employs the use of light and shadow to bring depth and dimension to the scene, adding to the overall visual appeal. This painting, from the November volume of a color magazine, is a testament to the artistic innovation and creativity of the early 1900s. The Paris Box invites viewers to ponder the juxtaposition of order and chaos, the beauty of nature, and the intrigue of the mundane. A true masterpiece from the March of the Women Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online.
