Pink Abundance, 'Oillets', Still life of Flowers In a Vase, Homage a Manet.

About the Item

A watercolour and gouache on paper of pink chrysanthemums or oillets in a vase. The painting is monogram signed bottom right but as yet undeciphered. The painting is framed in a modern metal frame under glass. A very charming and colourful view of pink spray chrysanthemums or oillets in a glass vase on a covered table. 'Oeillets', is a French word used for several kinds of cut flowers, many from the Dianthus genus. The artist has captured all the fullness and freshness of the blooms in a very happy composition. They have used a limited but extremely successful colour palette of pinks, mauves and greens. The use of shadow behind the vase also gives the painting a lovely depth and perspective. Edouard Manet's last paintings were of flowers in glass vases. There are 20 such paintings known, with the last one painted in March 1883, barely two months before his death. Manet is credited with stating that an artist can say everything he has to say with "flowers, fruit, and clouds." His last flower paintings are a demonstration of that belief. Pink Chrysanthemums symbolize femininity, motherhood, and maternal instincts in women and in Japanese culture longevity and are a representation of the Emperor and the Imperial family.

Expressionist Cafe Scene, Bagnoles, Au Casino, Circle of Fikret Saygi Moualla
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mid 20th Century French Expressionist gouache and watercolour on paper of a café scene. The painting is signed bottom right but as yet undeciphered. The work is titled to the back of the framing 'Bagnoles. Au Casino' and numbered. Presented in plain wood frame under glass, probably the artist's original framing. A lively and colourful scene of waiters serving their patrons in the bar of a casino. The servers are dressed in crisp linen jackets, black trousers, bow ties whilst balancing their trays of drinks. The customers are dressed in all their colourful finery for an evening at the tables. The artist has captured the feeling of the scene, noise, bustle, conversations and excitement. Bold splashes of colour animate the scene and create an almost Fauvist perspective. The painting in style, execution and subject matter is very much like the work of Fikret Muallâ who was painting at this period. Fikret Muallâ Saygı ) was a 20th-century avant-garde painter of Turkish descent. His work reflects influences from Expressionism and Fauvism, with subject matter focusing on Paris street life, social gatherings such as cafés and circuses. Though born in Istanbul he spent much of his career painting in Paris...
