Flowering Branches In A Vase, Signed Amir, Circa 1960

Still life depicting a bouquet of flowering branches in a vase, on a beautiful bright orange background.
The composition is simple, structured around a contrast between the warm background and the dark silhouettes of the foliage.
The work is signed Amir or Amin in the lower right corner. The artist, still unidentified, is part of an approach close to certain modernist movements of the 20th century. The style evokes an oriental or Middle Eastern influence, with a gestural touch and a taste for the simplification of forms. This type of subject, treated in an expressive manner, recalls certain works of painters such as Sanyu or Foujita, in their treatment of still lifes that are both stripped down and graphic.

Oil on canvas board in very good condition, gilded wood frame.
