About the Item
John Bulloch Souter
1890 - 1972
Still Life of Pink Roses
Oil on canvas, signed lower left
Image size: 11 1/4 x 15 1/2 inches (28.5 x 39.5 cm)
Period Gilt frame
This still life shows three beautiful roses in a pewter vase, painted by the artist circa 1950. It was after World War Two, when Souter returned to live in Aberdeen, that commissions for portraits and copying became scarce. Thus, the artist’s wife encouraged Souter to produce landscapes and still lifes, especially paintings of roses – this is mostly likely to be one of these works.
It is a fine example of early 20th century Scottish floral oil. The painting has a brilliant use of colour, with the blush pink tones of the rose petals providing a soft contrast to the greys of the table and wall behind.
Whilst the flowers themselves have been formed using blocks of colour, somewhat reducing each petal to their elementary shapes, attention to realism can be seen in the distortion of the flower stems as viewed through the glass vase. Souter has also created the form of the vase with economy, with a couple of well-placed dashes of white paint to create highlights glistening off the glass.
