Gladioli 1919 — Fine Art

Gladioli 1919 shows a row of tall flower stems leaning across a deep brown field. Red and green leaves push forward against the dark ground.

The loose brushwork of Chaim Soutine lets the petals break apart into thin strokes. A fine art print carries this mood with a white frame that gives the picture a clean edge on the wall.

The white line keeps the red tones from spilling outward. The painting works well on a kitchen wall above the sink. From the table you see the dark red blooms first, then the green leaves near the top.
