Description

A vivid mid-century modern still life depicting a dense bouquet of red, yellow, blue, and green flowers arranged in a glowing ochre pitcher. Painted with energetic, heavily worked brushstrokes and a highly saturated palette, the composition pushes the traditional floral subject toward abstraction. The flowers appear to dissolve into the surrounding field of color, while the dark tabletop provides a dramatic base for the luminous vessel and cascading arrangement.

The painting is signed at the lower right, although the artist’s name is not clearly legible. Its tall, narrow format and exuberant surface give it a strong decorative presence, particularly in an entryway, dining room, or any interior in need of something animated.
