Vase c. 1940

"Vase" is a watercolor on paper created by Michael Trekur circa 1940. The artwork depicts a simple vase with a round base, two handles and a single spout. The vase is depicted in a soft, delicate pink hue, while the base and handles are rendered in a lighter, more muted tone. The artwork's delicate detail and subtle shading create a sense of realism and evoke a sense of the vase's tactile qualities. Trekur, a prolific artist, is known for his still life paintings, which often feature simple objects like vases and flowers. This artwork, with its focus on the vase's form and color, exemplifies Trekur's skill in rendering the beauty of everyday objects.
