Flowers in a Jug 1950

"Flowers in a Jug" is a 1950 painting by British artist Augustus John, known for his expressive portraiture and figure paintings. This work exemplifies his later style, with loose brushstrokes and a painterly aesthetic. The pink flowers are rendered with vibrant hues and a sense of movement, while the blue and white jug and the simple brown background provide a striking contrast. This still life piece reflects John's appreciation for natural beauty and his mastery of capturing light and shadow.
