Sunflowers, circa 1930s, Mixed media on paper, 16.5" x 13". Framed 28" x 24"
This vibrant mixed media work depicts abstracted sunflowers rendered with bold expressionistic gestures and vivid color contrasts. Yellow blooms with dark centers occupy the composition alongside organic, angular forms in red, brown, and black that suggest both botanical and figural elements. The artist employed layered materials and gestural mark-making characteristic of early modernist approaches to still life, creating a dynamic tension between representation and abstraction. The work reflects the experimental aesthetic practices of early twentieth-century American modernism, with particular affinity to Expressionist and Cubist vocabularies. Rooted in the regional artistic community of Provincetown, this painting exemplifies the avant-garde sensibilities that flourished in this creative enclave.
