Robin's curated list of Artists at Geraniums in Art (2022 - 23) does not consistently demonstrate a clear connection between the selected artists and the Geraniaceae family in their work.

The search process can be exhaustive, often demanding extensive hours of research and analytical efforts; however, breakthroughs do occur intermittently.

Robin's determination and tenacity regarding the inclusion of this German-born artist are commendable, particularly given the profound emotional resonance found in the artist's oeuvre, which he wished to highlight. 

This notable painting discreetly includes a Red Geranium, which serves as a catalyst for exploring a rich tapestry of artworks and themes throughout art history that remain pertinent in contemporary discourse by Hans Baluschek.

Robin thanks Stadtmuseum, Berlin, for their agreement/permission to include their photograph of the painting.
