The Dance of Narcissus by Charles Demuth Hangend Wandkleed

"Narcissi" (1917) is a striking painting by Charles Demuth, showcasing his mastery in capturing modernist abstraction. The artwork presents a close-up view of a pair of Narcissus flowers, with bold, geometric shapes and vivid colors reflecting Demuth's unique approach to abstraction. The vibrant yellow hues of the flowers contrast with the cooler tones of their surroundings, bringing focus to their elegance and delicate form. The composition is an exploration of form, color, and light, characteristic of Demuth’s technique, and emphasizes both nature and modernist artistic expression. The painting, housed at The MET Museum, stands as an example of early 20th-century American modernism and Demuth's pioneering role in the Precisionist movement.
