Flowers in a Flower Vase | Tadeusz Makowski

Flowers in a Flower-Vase (1909) by Tadeusz Makowski (Polish, 1882–1932) marks an early exploration of abstraction and stylisation in the artist’s still life work. This composition presents a bouquet of flowers distilled into simplified forms and flattened perspective, foreshadowing Makowski’s later modernist direction. With bold outlines and a focus on compositional harmony over realism, the painting transforms a traditional subject into a study of form, rhythm, and colour. It reflects the artist’s engagement with modern European art movements while maintaining a distinct, personal aesthetic. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalise the image.
