Mühsam was born in Hamburg and later worked in Berlin and Paris, where he produced paintings with Cubist and Expressionist influences.The juxtaposition of colours, applied in pure, gestural dabs makes this painting part-figurative still life, part-study in colour and form. The background is painted in a block of flattened blue, a colour very close to that of the vase (and in fact forming the highlights of the vase), giving the overall composition a post-impressionist, decorative quality, redolent of Van Gogh's sunflowers where the yellow vase melds into yellow background.In oil paint on wooden board.Presented in a handsome vintage wooden frame in gold with linen liner (62 x 54.5cm).All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and in some cases an accompanying text or artist biography. Signed: Signed lower left. Inscribed: No. Height: 44.5cm (17.5″) Width: 37cm (14.6″) Condition: There is some craquelure to the blue paint; in places the paint is applied thinly, so that the ground shows through, and the craquelure enhances the textural effect. The frame has minor knocks to the gilt edges, but the overall impression is good. Please see photos for detail. Presented: In a handsome vintage frame in gold with linen liner. less
