There's more to this tangle of flowers than meets the eye 🌸 #VisualLiteracyWeek 🌸 The flowers fight for space, disrupting traditions of still life painting, in which bouquets are usually neatly arranged. Some flowers only just fit within the frame. 👩🎨 Between the dense foliage and reflected in a mirror, the artist's own tiny head can be spotted. While light falls on the flowers, the face remains in shadow – is she hiding, or does she want to be found among the plant pots? What else can you spot? Look closer in this story by art critic, curator and writer Ruth Millington 👉 https://lnkd.in/enpxQKCb 1) 'Through the Looking Glass' 2&3) 'Through the Looking Glass' (details of) By Jean Cooke (1927–2008) © Royal Academy of Arts
