Still Life with Tulips in Art Deco Style

The still life is painted on a warm dark background, which emphasizes the color and rhythm of the tulips in an Art Deco vase. The ornament in the same style plays out the composition, bringing additional pictorial meaning to it. The movement of the light drapery from top to bottom, graceful figures of birds and fruits seemingly hovering in space make the ordinary theme of tulips a pictorial plot filled with stylistically resolved dramaturgy and character.
