'Flower power' was a slogan used during the late 1960s and early 1970s as a symbol of passive resistance and nonviolence. It is rooted in the opposition movement to the Vietnam War. The expression was coined by the American Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in 1965 as a means to transform war protests into peaceful affirmative spectacles. (Wikipedia)

According to art historian David Acton in his essay "The Prints of Leonard Edmondson," the artist began to shape his intaglio plates in the mid-1960s by sawing them into jagged shapes before working their surfaces. Flower Power is printed from two such sawn irregular shaped intaglio plates. Edmondson used softground to add a variety of textures to his plate including Asian coins and medals which he inked separately isolating each area of texture and color.
Launching his distinctive style from the abstract surrealism of Paul Klee and the expressionism of Hans Hofmann, Los Angeles artist Leonard Edmondson's aesthetic imagery invokes 'almost remembered' forms, feelings and spaces in his paintings, watercolors, etchings, and screenprints. Edmondson transforms the shapes from his physical environment, describing them with his own visual vocabulary.
Leonard Edmondson wrote: "This vocabulary manifests itself in a dynamic structure where color responds to the size and position of shapes, and reinforces the intent of the composition. Lines close to make shapes that occupy shallow space. I am equally concerned with what I want to say and the formal values I use to say it. My painting is not art of rebellion but one of discovery and sharing. I have found satisfaction in the spontaneous, often compulsive, act of drawing and painting."
