About the Item

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "STUDY OF 'STILL LIFE WITH CHINESE PEONIES AND MANDOLIN'" ⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed on verso ⚜ Frameless display MODERN TRIBUTE TO GAUGUIN’S FLORAL BOLDNESS With dynamic brushwork and a saturated palette, Robert Kenneth White reinterprets Paul Gauguin’s 1885 still life, transforming it into a contemporary homage to post-impressionist experimentation. Explosive white and coral peonies burst against an ultramarine backdrop, while a mandolin and tableware balance the composition with textural rhythm and intimacy. White’s study captures not just the composition of Gauguin’s original, but its spirit—the interplay of pattern, color, and cultural references. The result is a vibrant still life that bridges 19th-century post-impressionism and 21st-century contemporary realism, resonating with collectors of both modernist and academic traditions. WHY COLLECT THIS WORK? ✓ Unique modern study after Paul Gauguin’s 1885 floral still life ✓ Bold palette and expressive brushwork influenced by Post-Impressionism ✓ Merges academic structure with painterly energy ✓ Ideal for collectors of color-forward still lifes or modern reinterpretations of historical works ARTWORK DETAILS: ▸ Title: "Study of 'Still Life with Chinese Peonies and Mandolin' by Paul Gauguin, 1885" ▸ Artist: Robert Kenneth White ▸ Medium: Oil on Canvas ▸ Year of Creation: 2014 ▸ Signature: Hand signed on verso ▸ Country of Origin: United States ▸ Dimensions: — ◼︎ Canvas Size: 25.25 x 21.875 inches ▸ Condition: Excellent ▸ Framing: Frameless Display – Ready to hang or frame INCLUDED DOCUMENTATION ✓ Certificate of Authenticity ✓ Artist Biography Document THE ARTIST: Robert Kenneth White is known for blending classical technique with bold interpretive flourishes, often revisiting the masters through a contemporary lens. His homage pieces, like this reinterpretation of Gauguin’s floral composition, draw on the chromatic audacity of Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard while maintaining firm structural integrity. Comparable artists include Dennis Perrin and Julian Onderdonk for their floral sensibilities, as well as artists like David Ligare and Zhaoming Wu who navigate the overlap between historic reverence and modern realism.
