Containers of Flowers (Translation)
Vase de Fleurs (Primary Title)
Édouard Vuillard, French, 1868 - 1940 (Artist)
Vuillard gives life to a traditional subject, a container of flowers, through freely applied brushwork and colors that cause it to meld with the highly patterned background. Lacking shadows, the pure patterning here approaches abstraction.
