Hippies Femme-fleurs au piano (Flower-women at the Piano) illustrates various flowers, the reproductive structure of a plant that generates pollination to occur. These, along with the two almost naked women, signify sexuality and fertility. The existence of the piano indicates the divine – something godly about expressing one’s sexuality. Pianos have often been used to indicate this as they can be used to produce magnificent music.
