Bouquet of Wallflowers
1948
Moïse Kisling, a central figure of the bohemian 'School of Paris' and close friend of Modigliani, bursts onto the canvas with this explosive bouquet of stock flowers. Painted in January 1948 after his return to France following the turmoil of World War II, the piece feels like a vibrant celebration of survival and beauty. The thick, energetic brushstrokes make the deep purple blooms look almost sculptural, while the background is a chaotic, joyful dance of greens and yellows that refuses to sit quietly behind the vase. It is a classic still life that definitely refuses to sit still!
