Vibrant Floral & Fruit Still-Life Oil on Canvas – Signed “Calder,” Post-Impressionist

A riot of color bursts across this unsigned still-life, where coral-pink anemones, cobalt blossoms, and ruby grapes glow against a rhythm of vertical teal strokes. Painted in thick, lively impasto and signed simply “Calder” lower right (attributed to a decorative mid-century artist, not Alexander Calder), the work fuses Fauvist energy with classic tabletop subject matter: a faceted glass vase, jade pedestal compote, and a sunlit plate of pears and peach.

Styling Notes

• Maximalist gallery: Let the jewel-tone bouquet anchor a wall of vintage travel posters and art books.
