 Our Answer to Flanders Fields, gouache on paper 30 x 20 inches, signed lower right. 

 In homage to the poet and physician John McCrae, Mora painted poppies among the grave sites.  Poppies were used to make morphine, the pain-killer for wounded soldiers.  Poppies grow where there are no competing plants. The whole Western front consisted of churned up soil. In May 1915, when McCrae wrote his poem, around him blood-red poppies bloomed where nobody had ever before seen them.
