Still life with roses 1922

Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin's 1922 painting "Still life with roses" is a prime example of the artist's signature style. The piece features a simple composition with a single stem of roses, a glass of water, and a partially obscured plate, all set against a muted blue background. Petrov-Vodkin's work often utilized muted color palettes and stark compositions, reminiscent of the period's avant-garde movements. This particular still life exemplifies the artist's fascination with geometric shapes and the interplay of light and shadow. The rose's delicate petals are depicted with bold strokes, adding a touch of realism to the otherwise abstract composition.
