<div>Maurice de Vlaminck’s<em> Fleurs dans un vase</em> (1910-11) is a prime-period still life that channels the artist’s Fauvist sensibilites into an image of exuberant, painterly force. A dynamic spray of blooms in vibrant reds, yellows, and whites flourishes from a dark vase, in a stark contrast of forms and color, creating an almost sculptural effect.
