EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of Blue-eyed-grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium), a wildflower native to the United States. Created in 1920 by renowned artist Mary Vaux Walcott, this botanical artwork showcases her exceptional talent and attention to detail. Set against a cream background, the trio of blue flowers takes center stage, their vibrant color contrasting beautifully with the surrounding leaves. The close-up view allows us to appreciate every intricate feature of these irises, from their slender stems to the tiny details on each petal. Mary Vaux Walcott was not only an accomplished artist but also a dedicated scientist. Her work at scientific institutions like the Smithsonian Institution demonstrates her commitment to both art and education. Through her paintings, she sought to educate others about the wonders of nature and its diverse plant life. This watercolor on paper piece exemplifies Walcott's mastery of capturing botanical subjects in exquisite detail. It serves as a testament to her legacy as one of America's most celebrated artists of the 20th century. As we admire this heritage artwork today, we are reminded of our country's rich natural heritage and encouraged to explore and protect it for future generations. Mary Vaux Walcott's Blue-eyed-grass print is not just a beautiful depiction; it is also an invitation to appreciate and learn more about our environment through art.
