Not much needs to be said about this painting by Jason Monet. Of all his most impressive works I feel that this piece could easily hang next to any of the great masters in a museum. The focal point is simple and elegant, three pink flowers. By contrast the background is a mess of vine and shadow that creates quite a contrast without distracting or repressing the strength of the composition. With this piece alone I champion Jason Monet as post-impressionist master.
