This impressionist bouquet of mixed flowers is a swirl of colour elegantly posed in a glass vase - a still life which is filled with the movement of colour. There is a certain sweet naïveté to whitteker's style and it is this which endears her paintings to collectors around the world. The painting is in good overall condition and has recently undergone a reconditioning and cleaning by an art restoration professional. It is also newly framed in with a french-style linen slip. Dated and signed: 'lilian whitteker 70' in the lower right hand. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing.about the artist : lilian e. Whitteker (1881-1979) began her art career in cincinnati, ohio, usa. She was a member of the cincinnati women's art club and spent most of her time painting landscapes, still lifes, and flowers. She moved to france in the mid-1920's where she remained the rest of her life. In 1970, due to her ill health and inability to afford the upkeep of the property, whitteker moved to another castle - the château de la bourdaisiere, built in the 1500s in the loire valley (at that time the château was a retirement home). Here she died in 1979. A street in tours, france, " allee lilian whitteker ", was named after her (see accompanying photo).
