Rose and Blue
Harriet Macy (American, mid-20th century)
Oil on canvas, 24” x 20”
$550, including ornate frame

A luminous still life from respected 1950s art educator Harriet Macy. Rose and Blue showcases tall gladiolus and delphinium in a ribbed ceramic vase, flanked by a porcelain figurine. The palette is rich and romantic, with a muted backdrop that lets the florals sing. Elegantly framed and steeped in tradition.

“My ambition has not been to invent a new style but to express in paint and color, nature’s moods and beauties, to bring what has pleased me, to share with others, my pleasures.

I have always been interested in people and their activities, in streets and churches inside our beautiful land with the changing seasons. I tried to bring some of this to the attention of others”

Harriet P. Macy
