Big Still Life with Flowers 1937

"Big Still Life with Flowers," painted in 1937 by Hungarian artist János Kmetty, is a quintessential example of a still life painting. Set against a muted blue background, the composition features a vase of flowers, a bowl, an apple, and a chair. The painting employs simplified forms and bold colors characteristic of Kmetty's style, suggesting a focus on the essential qualities of the objects rather than their minute details. This work exemplifies Kmetty's exploration of the everyday and the beauty found in the ordinary.
