A bountiful bouquet of vibrantly colored flowers bursts forth towards us, making this still life anything but still. Deviating slightly from his trademark style, Chagall uses bold black lines to convey the basic composition of this work. He then adds splashes of vivid colors that contrast against the black, causing the image of the bouquet to stand out. The bouquet rests upon a table in a corner next to an airy window, through which we can glimpse the clear blue sky with a bright yellow sun. A simple message can be found in this stunningly detailed work: to always appreciate the splendor of everyday life.
