This is a superb oil painting on board by Bronwen Roberts (1917 - 2017,) a Welsh artist represented in the Museum of Modern Art, Machynlleth. It features a beautiful still life of white californian poppies in a jug; white flowers being a favourite subject of the artist. It's painted in a semi-abstract style that represents Roberts' mature style; it's recognisably by the same artist as those in the Museum. You can see them on the Museum's website, and also on ArtUK. The style is similar, with loose and dynamic brushwork, the images drawn first with lies of black paint, then brought to life with broad strokes of colour; however in this painting the technique pushes the work away from the representational into almost abstract territory - a difficult act to pull off. The palette is also more restrained. This almost certainly dates it as later than the museum paintings, probably one of her later works. There are no others on the internet that I can find, the rest being probably in private collections.
The painting is monogrammed BR by the artist (see the similar monogram on the MOMA paintings,) and is also signed on a paper label on the back, along with the painting's title "Californian Poppies." It comes in a good quality heavy painted and gilded wood frame, ready to be displayed.
Its large size makes it a statement piece, perfect for collectors and decorators alike. It would look fantastic in a contemporary or traditional setting. This painting is a true representation of Welsh art and culture, making it a rare and valuable addition to any collection. I guarantee that it is authentically as described.
Size: 68cms wide by 78 cms high (27" by 31",) this is a substantial piece and is ideal for displaying as a centrepiece, above a fire place or on a feature wall.
Condition: Excellent, no dirt, damage or other issues to the painting, some light wear to the frame commensurate with age, see photos.
