david burliuk (russian/ukrainian-american, 1882\u20131967).<\/p>
still life with flowers and fruits, ca. 1940s\u201360s. oil on canvas, signed burliuk lower right in red. a vibrant still life composition depicting a bouquet of blooming roses in a rounded ceramic vase, flanked by a green-red apple and a bright orange on a round white-draped table. the windowed interior background is rendered in warm ochres and blues, lending spatial depth and tonal harmony. the impasto-rich surface and bold brushwork are characteristic of burliuk\u2019s later american period.<\/p>
the signature appears correct in style, brush treatment, and placement. burliuk frequently signed in block capitals in red paint.<\/p>
traditional subject matter (still lifes, landscapes, and genre scenes) executed in a modernist/post-impressionist idiom. these are all consistent with burliuk\u2019s output in the 1940s\u201360s during his time in the united states.<\/p>
