In this 1918 oil still life, the painter depicts a motif to which he remained faithful throughout his life: flowers. From a spherical white vase, which Evard placed on an ornate column, six red flowers emerge on long, thin stems. The background is painted indistinctly; the painter here blends a delicate blue with a greenish white. While the two front flowers stand out clearly defined, he allows the others to blur into the background: the colors fade, the contours become less distinct, which emphasizes the still life’s main subject – transience. Through the delicate, creamy, and light hues, the painting is characterized by a great lightness and airiness, but also fragility.
