Folly and Error, Avarice and Vice (Les Fleurs du Mal II), Trevor Guthrie - T.O.E. Art Market

An interpretation or “re-authorship” of Balthasar van der Ast`s painting from around 1630. From a series of five still life drawings done in 2016 appropriating 16th century Dutch Old Master paintings. Van der Ast`s piece is of particular interest because the arrangement of flowers together: roses and tulips, lilac and snake’s head lilies, aren't all in bloom at the same time, the artist would have made drawings and sketches of them at different times of the year, later incorporating them into the picture. Drawing B/W still life with flowers charcoal on paper.
