• Lot Description
  Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 49 x 64 cm. Signed and dated lower left “Marie Laurencin 1933”. This floral composition, executed in 1933, is fully representative of Marie Laurencin's personal style. The work features a bouquet of open anemones arranged in an elongated blue vase, positioned at the center of the composition. The flowers, with simplified petals and well-defined dark centers, are distributed within a harmonious chromatic mass dominated by whites, pinks, mauves, and soft reds, nuanced by restrained greens. The background, treated with a subtle gradation from light tones to deeper grays, is interrupted on the right by a vertical pink band that balances the composition without introducing any real spatial depth. As is typical of Laurencin, space is not constructed in a naturalistic manner, but rather functions as a poetic support for the overall chromatic vibrancy. The forms are reduced to their essence: circular petals, central black discs, and schematic leaves. This simplification, far from diminishing intensity, focuses attention on the relationship between color and rhythm. The brushstroke is soft yet confident, and the palette—characteristic of the artist—combines powdery tones with more vibrant accents, especially in the reds and mauves of the anemones. The work fully reflects Laurencin's mature style, recognizable for its delicacy, its chromatic sensitivity, and that suspended atmosphere that transforms a simple motif into an image of great decorative refinement.
