Victor Isbrand - Arrangement with vase and flowers

Victor Isbrand (1897–1989)
A colourful and characteristic still life with a blooming bouquet in an ornamented pitcher and a decorated bowl, arranged on a lively, striped surface against a blue background.
Oil on canvas.
Exhibited at Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling, Charlottenborg, 1945.
Signed at the top right: V. Isbrand

This work is a fine example of Isbrand's colouristic approach and decorative style, in which the inspiration from Henri Matisse (1869–1954) is clearly felt – both in the use of strong colours and in the expressive formal language.
