Essay:
Nestled in the repertoire of Ture Ander (1881-1959), a notable member of the Rackstagruppen (Racken Group), is this breathtaking bouquet, capturing the essence of nature's flowering beauty. The artwork offers a glimpse into a moment frozen in time—a moment where flowers in full bloom exude their ephemeral charm.
Anchoring the composition is a resplendent bouquet, housed in a striking blue glass vase, which stands gracefully upon a round wooden table. Ander's choice of blossoms is both eclectic and symbolic. From the towering Digitalis and gentle Poppy to the elegant Iris, passionate Snapdragons, rustic Cornflower, and the delicate Buttercup, each flower brings its unique aura to the bouquet. Collectively, they create an opulent tapestry of color, form, and texture, demonstrating the artist's profound understanding of botany and aesthetics.
The tradition of flower still life, holds a revered place in art history. Such compositions, apart from their aesthetic appeal, often delve deeper, addressing themes of transience, beauty, and the cyclical nature of life. Ander's piece, too, is more than just a visual treat—it's an invitation to meditate on the fleeting beauty of existence, reminding us of the transient nature of life itself.
The painting comes with a beautiful dark brown frame.
It is signed and dated '36, this artwork is not just a testament to Ture Ander's unparalleled prowess but also a window into the vibrant art scene of the 1930s, especially within the Racken Group—an influential art collective that profoundly shaped the Nordic art landscape.

- Richard Jerzy Watercolor "Red Chair" Interior with Flowers & ChairBy Richard JerzyLocated in Detroit, MI"Red Chair," though an interior scene, is arranged like a still-life with the furniture and objects slightly off-kilter in the creative manner of Marc Chagall's interiors, the Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. These non-fixed objects lend a floating energetic atmosphere and the brilliant colors contribute to the liveliness of this warm inviting interior. Richard Jerzy was a well-known watercolor artist from the Detroit, Michigan area. His signature works were figures and still lives, and many famous Michigan families are collectors. "He was probably the most promising, successful, exciting artist in the state of Michigan," said Miriam Parel, a fellow artist and friend for more than 30 years. He grew up on Detroit's east side and developed an interest in painting as a teenager. He attended Detroit's Center (now College) for Creative Studies. Other well- known CCS faculty and graduates are Susan Aaron-Taylor, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing, Stephen Dinehart, Tyree Guyton...Category

- Enid Munroe Mid Century Modernist Oil Painting Still Life with Fruit and BreadBy Enid MunroeLocated in Surfside, FLGenre: Modern Subject: Kitchen still life with pineapple, sourdough bread and lemons Medium: oil paint, done in a sgraffito, impasto somewhat brutalist technique Surface: board Country: United States Dimensions: 18 X 24 Being sold unframed Enid Munroe re-establishes the aesthetic worth of ordinary manufactured objects within the basic form language of Cubism. In her painting the artist uses trompe-l'oeil to render her composition, involving realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Enid Munroe is an artist and teacher who is well known regionally for her paintings, works on paper and Gold leaf, silver leaf, trompe l’oeil collage and assemblage series. She has been included in numerous invitational and juried exhibitions both nationally and regionally. Her works are in leading public, corporate and private collections including the Brooklyn Museum and the National Museum of American Art. Munroe cites painter Georgia O’Keeffe as one her influences and sources of inspiration. “Georgia O’Keeffe really helped lift the concept of women as artists,” stated Munroe. Munroe lived and worked in Mexico, Japan and Italy before settling in Connecticut. She is the author of An Artist in the Garden: A Guide to Creative and Natural Gardening (Henry Holt & Co, 1994) and has been active in regional art events including the founding of the annual Pequot Library...Category
