Yellow tulips 1910

"Yellow Tulips" is a 1910 oil painting by Roger de la Fresnaye, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century French avant-garde. This still life displays the artist's characteristic style, incorporating elements of Cubism and Orphism, evident in the bold, geometric shapes and vivid colors. The painting's central focus is a bouquet of yellow tulips arranged in a patterned vase, set against a vibrant red background. The composition further includes a white tablecloth and a few spherical objects, hinting at the artist's fascination with form and perspective. Currently residing in the Musée d'Art Moderne de Troyes, "Yellow Tulips" showcases de la Fresnaye's unique approach to artistic expression, blending traditional still life conventions with a contemporary, abstract sensibility.
