The Ill With The Flowers 

"The Ill With The Flowers" is a striking portrait by Walter Gramatté. A young boy, whose skin is painted an unnatural blue, stares out from the canvas with large, haunting eyes. He sits in a dark, shadowy space, surrounded by vibrant red flowers that seem to represent both beauty and decay. Gramatté's use of bold colors and distorted figures creates a sense of unease and psychological tension. The painting is a reminder of the artist's fascination with the macabre and his exploration of human emotion. This work reflects Gramatté's Expressionistic style, a movement that often explored the inner lives and anxieties of individuals. The unsettling subject matter and the distorted forms of the figure are characteristic of this style.
