Fritz Boehmer

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative floral and heart motif framed in a wooden frame. The artwork features a central floral design with symmetrical petals and a round, radiating central flower. Below the flower, there is a heart shape with text inscribed on it. Flanking the heart are two stylized birds facing each other, both vibrant with contrasting colors. The entire design is surrounded by a subdued background which highlights the vibrant colors within the motif. A name, "Fritz Boehmer," is inscribed at the bottom. The work includes a geometric border, and ribbons or scrolls at the bottom part create a sense of unity throughout the piece.
