Flower Arrangement by William Preachen

At upper left are the flowers of this still life's putative title, but they still don't account for the majority of Preachen's composition. Their bright orange petals activate several obejcts in a similar tone (fruit, a piece of fabric, a painted ceramic dish); their green leaves are echoed in another piece of fabric, a pear, and painted leaves on the ceramic objects. But arguably the most formative arrangement is modular, grouping the obects in cells that resemble a honeycomb. Wrinkles in the fabric are geometric rather than naturalistic.
