"Basket of Flowers" (1907) by Leopoldine Kolbe is a vibrant example of Art Nouveau. This small-scale work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Kolbe's talent for bold colors and intricate details. The composition, featuring a basket overflowing with stylized flowers and leaves, is rendered in a flat, decorative style characteristic of the period. The use of contrasting colors and simplified forms emphasizes the beauty of nature and the artistic spirit of the Art Nouveau movement.
