Artist: Robert Kulicke
Medium: Oil on Board
Creation Year: c. 1960s
Dimensions: 6.25 x 4 inches
Style: Still Life
Period: Mid 20th Century
Condition: Excellent
Description: In Pink Flowers, Robert Kulicke distills the still life tradition into its most essential forms. A single-tone bouquet of black flowers, stark and silhouetted, sits delicately against a smooth, blush-pink backdrop. With no variation in the flowers’ hue, Kulicke emphasizes shape and contour, inviting the viewer to experience the bouquet as both object and abstraction.
The flatness of the background and the graphic quality of the blooms give the work a modernist edge, yet its overall effect remains soft and meditative. As with much of Kulicke’s work, there’s a sense of reverence for the subject—a quiet offering of beauty in its simplest terms.
Balancing minimalism with emotional subtlety, Pink Flowers transforms floral still life into a study of contrast, elegance, and restraint.
