About the Item

Colorful Modernist Still Life with Impasto Flowers by Ellis Hopkins (American, b. 1952). This bold still life features an array of flowers as its central focus. The painting is rendered primarily in thick, impasto paint with visible brushstrokes and palette knife marks. The flowers sit on a saturated red table, which contrasts to the deep blue of the background. On the right side of the flowers is an area of purple, situated between the flowers and the background. There are three large flowers in different blue shades and one large white flower resting at the top of the bouquet. Reminiscent of Kandinsky and Hofmann and Emily Sillman, the piece celebrates the interplay of spontaneity and structure within a modernist vocabulary.
