Interior Still Life With Vase And Chair - Mid 20th Century - Signed

Description
This oil on canvas mounted on board presents a vivid interior still life by an unknown artist, combining decorative pattern, flattened perspective, and expressive color relationships. A tall ceramic vase filled with loose foliage anchors the foreground, set on a sharply angled blue table that cuts across a richly patterned red floor. Behind it, a black chair and a window opening onto dense green foliage create spatial tension through overlapping planes rather than traditional depth. The palette is bold and saturated—turquoise, vermilion, ochre, and leafy greens—balanced by dark linear outlines that structure the composition. Brushwork is confident and textured, with visible strokes enhancing the ornamental quality of surfaces and textiles. The painting aligns stylistically with mid-20th-century modern figurative and decorative interior scenes, where everyday domestic subjects are transformed through color and rhythm. The result is a lively, graphic composition well suited to spaces that favor strong visual character and modernist sensibility.
