In recognition of Earth Day, we share this collection of art that has a common theme, the tree. Artists such as Monet, O’Keefe, Escher, Hokusai and others help us reflect upon the form, beauty and significance of the tree. Whether symbolized as the Tree of Life, as done so by Haring and Klimt, reflected in a puddle or assembled in abstract form, these artists interpret the tree with their own personal and spiritual values.
