Description
Red poppies with green leaves and buds spill from a narrow, vertically grooved brown-gold vase before a white background with pronounced impasto texture. Compared with the other vases in this series, the composition is looser and freer — the stems wind out of the vase in various directions, and the buds give the impression of a natural, unarranged bouquet. The background carries visible thick applications of white paint laid on with a palette knife, giving the painting relief-like vitality. The red of the flowers is intense and warm, the green of the leaves settling it in an earthy way. An artistic wall painting in a classic-modern style — homely and elegant at once.
