Pitcher with Sunflowers
Impression of the Painting.
Still Life "Pitcher with Sunflowers" straightforwardly presents the geometry of ordinary objects in the Cubist style. The narrow color palette focuses the viewer on the still life.
It's all a play with form and color, the goal of which is to convey a feeling that can not only be sensed but also understood.
- Anatoli Gostev
Creation of the Painting.
