Bouquet de Fleur, Pot Noir

Circa 1954

Provenance: Private Collection, New York. Private Collection, UK.

A piece sure to stand out in any collection, like hens teeth to any collector as we rarely see a bouquet still life of this size and composition. Venard's use of heavy texture and fragmented forms give the bouquet a sense of energy and movement, as if the flowers are almost bursting off the canvas!
