Everyone sees art from a different point of view, whether if the piece shows someone sitting on a dock looking at the water or just a simple vase of flowers. When comparing two artworks one will find things they like and find things they dislike, that too may be different than what someone else likes and dislikes. Although the artworks may show a similar object, the pieces are still unique since with anything that has similarities, there are also differences present. At the Wichita Art Museum, two paintings of flowers are on display, William J. Glackens’ Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase and Alfred Maurer’s Still Life with Flower. These two artworks show the similarities and differences through the incorporation of line, shape, color, space, balance, and harmony.

The piece shows a bouquet of flowers, sitting on a table, in, what seems like, an empty room. Alfred Maurer, also an American artist born in the late 1860s, created Still Life with Flowers also in 1915 using oil on card. His piece, like Glackens, shows a bouquet of flowers in a vase, sitting on a table, in, what seems like, an empty room. Both Glackens and Maurer accommodate a similar art piece through the use of shape, space, and balance, but still show that they are their own individual art pieces with the differences being shown through line, color, and harmony.

Although, the flowers themselves are symmetrical, one can tell that Glackens put in an effort to keep the colors of the flowers even on each side. The way he has it set up, it looks like the floor and the walls are slanted, which makes the table look
