Description
Joseph Kostka,
German 1846-1927-
Wildflowers;
oil on board, bears printed label in German verso, 37.5 x 27.3 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Kostka was a highly versatile artist, whose oeuvre consisted of still life paintings and portraits, as well as compositions such as the present work, in which the artist appears to be studying the landscape from restricted viewpoints and unusual angles. This painting, depicting colourful flowers on a bush from the undergrowth beneath, is almost geometric in its composition, with lines intersecting towards the edges of the scene, and framing the sprays of flowers within.
