Hopare - Hopare (Alexandre Monteiro), The Three-Color Bouquet. Hopare (Alexandre Monteiro) (France, 1989) THE 3-COLOR BOUQUET, 2022, (/15) Lithograph 3 colors The bouquet is a poetic representation of how I feel about the lockdowns we have experienced. In the image of a plant this lithograph tells the fragility, the ephemeral side and emphasizes the impermanence of all things. The bouquet of flowers is perceived as vanity, an allegorical representation of the passing time, loaded with a sense of high moral value. The theme of the bouquet of flowers is a recurring topic in art history, including in the exercise of stillness in painting.
