Frank Brangwyn Sunflowers is an explosion of colour that captures the vibrancy of a much-loved plant. The artist was by no means innovative or daring in his subject matter when he decided to paint these flowers.This painting is also influenced by Brangwyns experience working as a designer for the leading artist of the Arts and Crafts Movement, William Morris (1934 - 1896). Instead of the formal structured foliage he had developed into textile patterns for Morris, these sunflowers are wild and free yet retain their decorative function. In Sunflowers, Brangwyn takes a popular trope and makes it his own, removing any sense of symbolic or emotional motive and instead sharing his appreciation of the explosive beauty of the sunflower plant.
