Footnotes
- An early work of the same subject, Red Cannas, Java, is published in Buncher (London 1950, plate 6):
"A bold study of colour design. Before this canvas, the artist had ignored flowers as a possible subject. This experiment led him not only to a realization of the subtle qualities of flowers, but also of the full possibilities of colour combinations, an approach which greatly influenced his later paintings."
