Description

Well into his painting career, Segal demonstrates his approach to still life with his direct attetion on the subject and choosing to put the pot in the center of the canvas. this is to say "My focus is on this particular thing before me" letting the viewer know in certain terms that his painting is about this clay pot of flowers. His handling of paint is solid and confident. Each stroke, a choice. This painting is a good example of the type and tone of attention Segal intended on using while studying the subjects.
