Here is an example of Demuth's ability to leave generous areas of white paper which are definitely part of the pattern of the picture and bring forward the luminous counterpoint of the flowers.

The delicacy of the color is sharply accented here and there by arabesques of cool green leaves, the only definitely warm color being the terra cotta red of the flower pot. Harmonious Balance "The harmonious balance of cool and warm notes is further enhanced by a few lively touches of lemon yellow in the stamens of the lilies. His infinitely controlled method suggests succinctly a wide variety of textures and in this painting the manipulation of white lilies against the bare white paper is a masterful accomplishment." Georgia O'Keefe's brilliant study in gorgeous color, entitled "Autumn Leaves" is one of the first in the group to catch the eye and hold the attention. It is bold in its treatment and daring in its violent contrasts, but pleasing and decorative.
