The artwork entitled “Flowers on a Red Carpet” was created by Pierre Bonnard in 1928. Executed in oil on canvas, the piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls within the flower painting genre. Measuring 57 x 61 cm, the artwork currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork presents a vibrant bouquet of flowers arranged in a vessel that appears to be placed on a red surface, which is likely the “red carpet” alluded to in the title. The flowers display a range of colors, including yellows, reds, and purples, contributing to a lively and dynamic composition. The use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid color palette is characteristic of Post-Impressionism, capturing the essence and vibrancy of the flowers. The background features hints of more muted tones, providing a subtle contrast that further accentuates the vivid floral arrangement.
