Ken Rosenfeld 1984 floral paperweight, with three
fantasy flowers, in pink, blue and lavender, on pale green moss
ground. This early work exhibits the interest Rosenfeld has always
had in color and texture. Signature cane and signed by the artist.
"Over the years, it has been his experience that people
respond to colors emotionally. ...Rosenfeld has said he almost
uses the flower form simply as a vehicle for the color. In this
regard he does not strive for botanical accuracy in his flowers.
They are more an expression of fantasy, of a quality of life."
--Annual Bulletin of the PCA (1988).
