Still life with flowers or the Venus of Cyrene 1930

Pierre Bonnard's "Still Life with Flowers or the Venus of Cyrene" (1930) captures the intimacy of domestic life. The painting, now housed in the Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland, is a vibrant depiction of a vase of flowers, a book, and a draped cloth, rendered in the artist's signature loose, brushy style. The use of rich, saturated colors, particularly the warm yellows and oranges, creates a sense of light and airiness. Bonnard’s work is often categorized as post-Impressionism and Fauvism due to its bold use of color and its focus on the fleeting moments of everyday life.
