Description
The painting "flowers and strawberries" by Félix Vallotton, made in 1920, is a sublime manifestation of the artist's abilities to capture the essence of the still life with an intimate and detailed approach. The work presents a delicate and balanced composition, where color and shape work in a perfect unison to cause an emotional response in the spectator.
In a detailed visual inspection, one cannot fail to notice how Vallotton applies his characteristic style, marked by almost photographic precision in the representation of objects. On a table, located in what seems to be an intimate domestic space, several flowers and strawberries are arranged, organized with a careful neglect that reveals the artist's ability to preserve naturalness within the artistic representation.
The use of color in the work is meticulous but vibrant. Vallotton opts for a rich color palette, in which the intense reds of strawberries contrast wonderfully with the softest and most varied tones of the flowers. The flowers, with petals that vary from pure target to pink and violet tones, create a dynamic and attractive visual field, highlighting on the darkest and most neutral background of the table and the surrounding place.
It is in the details where Vallotton's technical domain becomes more evident. Each strawberry is meticulously striped, providing a palpable texture that invites you to almost feel its freshness under the fingers. Similarly, the flowers, carefully elaborate, seem to capture a moment of purity and fragility, evoking a sensation of ephemeral beauty of nature.
The composition of "flowers and strawberries" also deserves a special mention. Vallotton uses an asymetric disposition that, far from creating chaos, generates a sensation of harmony and balance. It helps to guide the viewer's gaze through the elements of the paint, facilitating a visual route that explores each component with care, from the delicate curves of the floral stems to the geometric and red shapes of the strawberries.
This painting, in addition, is a faithful reflection of the late period of Félix Vallotton, where his emphasis on dead natures and interior scenes allows him to explore an intimacy and attention to the detail that differs from his earliest works. This approach allows you to focus on the impermanence of life and the calm of everyday moments.
The "still life", O Bodegón, has been a constant in the history of art. However, in the hands of Vallotton, this genre reaches an introspective and serene dimension. This can be attributed, perhaps, to its background as a member of the Nabis group, a cohort of post -impressionist artists who played a crucial role in the transition to modern art. of the moment.
In summary, "Flores and Strawberries - 1920" is a testimony of the genius of Félix Vallotton and his ability to merge technique and feeling. The work not only celebrates the inherent beauty of natural elements, but also invites the viewer to a deeper contemplation, beyond the visible, towards a more complete appreciation of life and nature.
