About the Item

Mid-Century French still life of roses in a vase, oil on canvas by Marseille artist Henri Reboa. The work is signed bottom right and is presented in a gilt frame. This painting of roses in a vase against a background of mauve tulips is painted swiftly and with confidence. The colour palette is very well chosen, warm yet vibrant as the touches of sharper green leaf offset the mauve backdrop of tulips and the baby pink petals. The backdrop is reminiscent of the interior paintings of Matisse who often painted his subject against a colourful and lively wallpaper or carpet. This device brings further interest to the painting sometimes offering clashing colours which keeps the eye excited and engaged. In this case, quite cleverly, we have a painting of flowers within a painting of flowers therefore adding to the overall richness of the piece. The quick dabs of the brush can easily be seen which give texture and an energy to the painting, further enhanced by the half shadow over the subject. The clever use of light and shade gives a robustness and liveliness to the roses. A strong painting which can either work in a tone on tone environment due to its restrained colour palette or stand alone due to its energy of brushstroke and presence.

The Tulips, Art Deco Still Life Oil on Canvas of Tulips in a Vase in an Interior
Located in Cotignac, FR
French Art Deco still life of a vase of tulips in an interior by Auguste Mallard. The painting is signed bottom right and presented in a period patinated wood frame. A colourful and strong painting of an interior view, a table with books and as the centre piece a beautiful blue ceramic vase with twisted handles holding a magnificent bouquet of brightly coloured tulips. Mallard has captured the abandon of the blooms in the vase, the way tulips twist and furl raising and lowering their beautiful colourful petals. The colours of the flowers really stand out against the more muted tones of the background, curtain and table. A very elegant and stylish painting. This painting has the feel of some of the still life works from the same period by Tamara de Lempicka who was a contemporary of Mallard painting...
