Untitled (floral still life)
Dublin Core
Title
Untitled (floral still life)
Description
This still life presents an arrangement of flowers, rendered with attention to detail and texture. Bannister’s choice of subject shows his versatility and ability to work outside the landscape genre for which he is known. Its inclusion demonstrates the breadth of Black artistic talent and production during a period when artists of colour were often confined by narrow expectations.
