According to Joan Snyder's Symphony VII, not all flowers symbolize beauty and happiness.

The work gives a contrasting impact of beauty and despair. Applying Greenberg's abstract expressionism theory and Erwin Panofsky's iconography theory along with research, this paper explored how Joan Snyder uses flower elements to symbolize women's vulnerability in Symphony VII. Joan Snyder's Symphony VII is constantly discussing violence against women around the world to warn and showcase the problems of women around us. |
