Looking for still life oil painting with real brushwork? Farm Garden with Sunflowers is reproduced by hand in oils on artist-grade canvas after Gustav Klimt. The result is a piece of art nouveau oil painting wall decor that anchors an entryway and rewards a closer look.
1907
Oil on canvas
110 x 110 cm
Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna, Austria.
Unlike van Gogh, for whom sunflowers were of paramount importance, Klimt does not make of the flowers a flaming and consuming fire.
His flowers shimmer like the gown of a "fairy in love". (Hevesi)
In his search for suitable motifs, Gustav Klimt repeatedly used a self-made square cardboard frame which helped him find the best possible detail from the landscapes around the Attersee, where the painter spent his summers. Due to the closeness of these landscape details, as in this painting of a flower garden, the landscape loses any sense of depth. The horizon and the sky are hidden. This allows Klimt to translate the spatial depth onto a two-dimensional picture surface, making the motifs appear as carefully elaborated flat patterns. Even his fellow painters noticed how similar this was to ornamental craft work. According to Viennese writer Hermann Bahr, German painter Max Liebermann stated that Viennese painting was not about paintings, but painted carpets. In the landscapes Gustav Klimt created in his later years, this characterization is applied to special effect.
As entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other art nouveau wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the still life brushwork visible and gives the art nouveau oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As entryway wall decor, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large entryway feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for still life oil painting as a gift.
