Bouquet of Roses

Antique oil painting from France: Oil painting on canvas signed Héléne Bokanowski (1910-2000) and dated '57.

The female artist Bokanowski created this simple and lovely still life, which is incredibly dynamic upon closer inspection. The paint is applied in thick and smooth brushes, creating interesting volume. There is a play of realism to the work, with the bright, almost "pop-like" flowers emerging from the matte black background.

About the artist: Héléne Bokanowski (1910-2000) was a French poet, essayist, translator and painter. She was also the wife of politician Michel Maurice Bokanowski (1912-2005), and the niece of art collector Alphonse Kann (1870-1948).
