Chrysanthemums and asters 

This painting by David Burliuk, a prominent figure in the Russian avant-garde movement, showcases a vibrant and colorful still life. The artist's distinctive brushstrokes add a sense of energy and dynamism to the composition, particularly evident in the swirling patterns of the sky. The subject matter, a bouquet of chrysanthemums and asters, is rendered with bold color and texture, highlighting Burliuk's appreciation for the beauty of nature. This piece exemplifies Burliuk's transition from a more traditional style to a more expressive and experimental approach, characteristic of his later works.
