The artwork titled “Poppies,” created by Pierre Bonnard circa 1914 to 1915, is an oil painting on canvas belonging to the Post-Impressionism movement. This flower painting, held in a private collection, measures 69.85 by 58.42 cm.
The artwork depicts a vibrant still life of poppies arranged in a white, floral-patterned pitcher. The rich, warm background comprises shades of orange and hints of blue, creating a vivid contrast that highlights the red and white flowers. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, typical of Post-Impressionist techniques, capturing the essence and movement of the flowers rather than focusing on precise details. The overall composition exudes a sense of spontaneity and vitality, reflective of Bonnard’s keen sensitivity to color and light.
