The artwork titled “Vase With Flowers” was created by Aldemir Martins in 1968. It belongs to the Naive Art movement, specifically Primitivism, and is categorized as a flower painting.
This vibrant painting features a vase full of yellow flowers set against a contrasting background. The flowers are depicted with rounded, full blooms, each simplistically rendered with bright yellow color and slight green accents to represent leaves. The vase is a solid, dark block color, grounding the bouquet in the composition. It sits on what appears to be a table, indicated by a horizontal line and a shift from red to blue, giving a subtle hint of perspective. The background is split into two main color fields: the upper part is a textured blue that fades to lighter tones at the top, suggesting the airy space or sky behind the flowers, while the lower part is a warm red, punctuated by a narrow horizontal stripe that adds to the feeling of depth and dimension. The overall style of the painting is characterized by bold color choices, simplified forms, and a somewhat flattened perspective, typical of Naive Art.
