Jules CAVAILLÈS (1901–1977) – Still Life with a Bouquet of Flowers, Binoculars, and a Chess Piece
​
A superb oil on canvas depicting an elegant and poetic composition, characteristic of Jules Cavaillès’s work. Against a background of luminous, rosy hues, the artist depicts a large bouquet of assorted flowers (tulips, irises, anemones) arranged in a clear glass vase. The scene is enhanced by a poetic still life featuring a bowl of fresh cherries, a pair of theater binoculars, and a wooden chess knight.

​True to the Poetic Reality movement, of which Cavaillès was a leading figure, this work stands out for the freshness of its colors, the freedom of its brushwork, and the gentle atmosphere it evokes.
