"Bouquets de Fleurs" (1901) ist ein leuchtendes postimpressionistisches Stillleben. Als die revolutionäre Welle des Impressionismus ihren Höhepunkt hinter sich gelassen hatte, traten Künstler wie Henri Manguin, Henri Matisse, Kees van Dongen, Louis Valtat und andere als Teil der neuen Avantgarde in Europa auf. Diese "Fauves", oder grob übersetzt "wilde Tiere", attackierten ihre Leinwände mit einer kühnen und lebendigen neuen Farbpalette. Diese völlig neue Art der Malerei wurde anfangs weder von der Kritik noch von der künstlerischen Elite gefeiert, gilt aber heute als eine der innovativsten und originellsten künstlerischen Bewegungen des 20.

Das vorliegende Werk, das kurz vor der Revolution des Fauvismus gemalt wurde, zeigt eine kritische Übergangsphase in der modernen Kunst. Das Thema ist mit meisterhaftem kompositorischem Gespür und Aufmerksamkeit für räumliche Beziehungen dargestellt. Manguins kompositorische Kompetenz erlaubte es ihm, im ersten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts frei mit Farben zu experimentieren. Das etwas spätere, aber vergleichbare Manguin-Stillleben "Blumen" (1915) befindet sich in der ständigen Sammlung des Eremitage-Museums, St. Petersburg, Russland.
