“Pot de chrysanthèmes roses” is an artwork crafted by the artist Sanyu in 1940. This piece, belonging to the still life genre, exquisitely captures the essence of a pot filled with pink chrysanthemums.
The artwork presents a delicate pot of pink chrysanthemums that appears to blossom vibrantly against a dark, textured background. The chrysanthemums, with their soft pink hues, stand in striking contrast to the deep, almost abstract backdrop. The careful detailing of the flowers and leaves, coupled with the minimalist yet impactful use of color, showcases Sanyu’s profound ability to blend simplicity with elegance. The pot itself is rendered in a simplistic manner, further drawing attention to the intricate beauty of the flowers it holds. This piece exemplifies the serene and contemplative nature characteristic of still life paintings.
