Anemones in a Green Vase — Pierre Bonnard Art Postcard

This Flowers turns a simple bouquet into something closer to a jewel box: red, violet-purple, white and pink anemones packed shoulder to shoulder in a rounded olive-green vase set on a small gilt foot, the ground behind dissolving into loose yellow-green brushwork. Where some of Bonnard's flower pictures settle on a single dominant hue, this one revels in contrast, every bloom a slightly different shade, none of them repeating twice. The vase itself is almost sculptural, its full curve echoing the fullness of the flowers piled above it. His signature sits quietly at lower left, easy to lose beside so much colour. A vivid, saturated card from the Pierre Bonnard collection, well suited to a flower collector or a bright note worth sending in early spring.
