Blue Flowers & Lemon

SOLD

A lively mid-century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

In the foreground, a vase of striking blue flowers commands attention. Beside the vase, a single lemon, a burst of radiant yellow, also rests on the windowsill. The backdrop presents a view of buildings and houses that have been painted in light pastel shades of blues, yellows and pinks.

The artist has skilfully simplified the composition down to blocks of geometric shapes in contrasting shades and bold outlines, maintaining the modernist focus on geometric abstraction, as well as demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

The brushstrokes across the canvas are expressive and lightly textured, contributing to the painting’s dynamic quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary cream frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

Size: 66 x 39 cm (including frame)
