Still Life with Flowers, Fruits and the Back of a Chair 1914 - 1918

"Still Life with Flowers, Fruits and the Back of a Chair" (1914-1918) by Karl Isakson is a still life oil painting housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The painting features a simple still life composition of a pitcher, fruits, and flowers on a table, with the back of a chair visible in the background. Isakson's distinctive style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and the emphasis on color and light, which create a sense of immediacy and vibrancy. The artist's focus on capturing the essence of the objects rather than their precise details is characteristic of the modernist movement. This work showcases Isakson's mastery of color and composition, and it is considered a significant example of his still life paintings.
