The artwork “Anemone and Daffodil” was crafted by the artist Fairfield Porter in the year 1965. This piece is associated with the art movement known as Contemporary Realism and belongs to the genre of still life.
The artwork features a bouquet of vividly colored flowers arranged in a plain white vase, prominently placed on a surface. The flowers include bright red anemones and sunny yellow daffodils, with hints of purple and other hues, creating a striking contrast against the muted background. The setting appears domestic and serene, with scattered papers, a book, and an object resembling a pen on the table, contributing to a sense of everyday realism. The use of light and shadow is subtle, enhancing the naturalistic quality of the scene and reflecting Porter’s characteristic style in capturing the quiet beauty of ordinary life.
