Le Pétunia 1889 - 1890

"Le Pétunia" (1889-1890) is a painting by Édouard Vuillard that portrays a close-up view of a single pink petunia blossom among a tangle of green foliage. The painting is characterized by its vibrant colors and the artist's distinctive use of flat planes of color, which create a sense of depth and texture. The stylized depiction of the flowers and leaves, typical of Vuillard's style, adds to the painting's decorative quality. Vuillard was a prominent member of the Nabis, a group of artists who championed the use of color and decorative elements in their work, making this painting a prime example of their artistic ideals.
