DescriptionRoses with Mock Oranges” is one of several floral still lifes Speicher painted throughout the span of his career. It is an example of his fascination with the balance of composition; he was known for his careful planning of spatial relationships within his paintings. “My look and feel of the thing I am painting: my imagining and thinking about it, is what I try to express, be it a portrait, a figure, a landscape or a bouquet of flowers. Something that is not merely original and short-lived, but which is supported by fundamental principles of art as well.” On View
