"Picking Flowers" (French: "Cueillette des fleurs") is a painting by French artist Paul-Elie Ranson, a member of the Nabis, a group of Post-Impressionist avant-garde artists who set the pace for fine arts and graphic arts in France in the 1890s. The painting is emblematic of the Nabis' style, which is characterized by flat areas of color, decorative patterns, and a focus on the symbolic and spiritual representation of subjects.

Completed in 1894, "Picking Flowers" is a testament to Ranson's fascination with the mystical and esoteric, themes that are recurrent in his work. The painting depicts a scene of two women in a stylized, almost dreamlike landscape, engaged in the simple, timeless activity of gathering flowers. The figures are rendered with flowing lines and are integrated into the surrounding landscape, reflecting the Nabis' interest in Japanese prints and the breakdown of the traditional Western perspective.

The use of color in "Picking Flowers" is particularly noteworthy. Ranson employs a palette that is at once vibrant and harmonious, with a strong emphasis on decorative rhythm and the emotional resonance of hues. This approach is indicative of the Nabis' desire to move away from the naturalistic representation of light and form, instead seeking to convey an inner vision or experience.

"Picking Flowers" is not only a beautiful example of Ranson's art but also an important piece within the broader context of the Nabis movement. It captures the essence of their innovative approach to art-making, which would go on to influence the development of modern art. The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase Post-Impressionist and Nabi art.
