Very Merimekko to my eye. rabbit on "Is this a floral or an abstract?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-floral-or-an-abstract#post-1231047 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:24:49 +0000 rabbit 1231047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like botanical - because it's what separates the florals that appeal to me from the ones that don't.  Botanical implies someone somewhere was looking at a real plant or a photograph of one when painting ;).   Even with very abstracted and digitally manipulated florals this makes a difference for me.

But Botanical is the best description.  calmwave on "Is this a floral or an abstract?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-floral-or-an-abstract#post-1230839 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:10:29 +0000 calmwave 1230839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Abstract floral... and just beautiful!

It is organic and flowers could easily be subbed in for apples.

April on "Is this a floral or an abstract?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-floral-or-an-abstract#post-1230815 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:53:40 +0000 April 1230815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would go further and say it's a stylized botanical.  In other words, it looks more like a graphic rendering than a realistic painting. Mo on "Is this a floral or an abstract?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-floral-or-an-abstract#post-1230810 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:49:04 +0000 Mo 1230810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm learning something new today.  I had no idea there were a class of prints called botanical.  But then I'd never heard of liberty prints or ditzy before here either.  In my head, ditzy was a descriptor put before blonde or broad, and not a nice word in general.

But it also has a strong graphic quality that departs from the typical floral/botanical feel.

Which encompasses some florals but not all of them. (For example, I don't think a really regular ditsy floral is botanical.).

I vote floral. Mo on "Is this a floral or an abstract?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-floral-or-an-abstract#post-1230796 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:40:01 +0000 Mo 1230796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ And how do we decide which?  I've always seen it as apples. If it is apples, because they are on the tree, does that make them floral (part of a plant)?
