Bohm’s upward glance at a tree in blossom is taken from indoors, framed by a dark window. The superimposed grid of bars contrasts with the natural forms of the branches. Made by a Lithuanian refugee who arrived in England in 1939, these deceptively simple images sometimes convey deeper layers of meaning. Bohm’s observations of beauty and transience are tinged with a sense of loss and melancholy.
