This oil painting from 1935 depicts a floral still life. Evard centrally places a yellow vase filled with red flowers, beneath which he suggests a semicircular table. The artist designs the background abstractly, with various shades of red and yellow adorning the blurred background in vertical stripes. For the lush abundance of blossoms and leaves, the artist chooses a more realistic but stylized painting style with greater detail, using sharp black outlines for the flowers and leaves. While some flowers are still in full bloom\u2014a single one rises powerfully\u2014others are already drooping. The artist takes up the traditional theme of the still life\u2014the vanitas\u2014in this work. Even after developing his constructive painting style, Evard remains true to the traditional still life; as an artist, he loved variety and used different registers throughout his life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
