An Iris for Lisa
Etching
1970
Often thought to be atypical of his subject matter,
Baskin actually did numerous floral works in print
form, watercolor, and bronze. He has explored the
forms of Irises, Thistles, Weeds and a range of flowers,
both in books of his own composition, and as companions
to poems by Ted Hughes, Jose Yglesias, Anthony Hecht,
and others.
