The Iris
Artist: Mabel Pye
Circa: 1936
Mabel Pye, a pioneering Australian modernist printmaker, was celebrated for her refined use of the color woodcut technique. This work presents a single iris in full bloom, its petals layered with subtle shades of violet, blue, and gold. The stylized framing and delicate balance between line and color highlight Pye’s ability to transform botanical subjects into striking modern compositions. Her prints remain admired for their clarity, decorative strength, and lyrical approach to nature.
