Rivera's colorful "The Flower Seller" kneels barefoot, her long dark braids falling down her back as she gathers a massive bundle of white lilies together. In "The Flower Seller" the pale heads of the flowers and their thick, cut stems fill the picture, dwarfing the flower seller herself. Calla lilies feature in several of Rivera's paintings. Given Rivera's passionate political beliefs, is the artist making a political statement here about the importance of the ordinary working person for the wealthy Mexican upper classes? Could "The Flower Seller" add beauty with a philosophical twist to your home?
