This striking abstract still-life composition by renowned Dutch artist E.J.E. Dulfer (1909–1965), titled "Summer in the Windowsill" (Zomer in de vensterbank in Dutch), showcases a brutalist design with expressive heavy paint buildup. The artwork vividly depicts flower pots on a balcony, combining dynamic color contrasts with intricate structural details.
The painting is signed in the lower right corner (see pictures 4 and 12, close-up).
Texture & Technique
The painting's texture plays a crucial role in its visual and tactile impact. Texture in painting refers to both the visual appearance and tactile sensation of the canvas, shaped by the application of paint and other materials. This composition stimulates the senses—sight and touch—through the thick layers of paint and carefully crafted surfaces, enhancing the depth and intensity of the piece.
Framing & Presentation
Recently reframed, the painting now features a double wood frame with a turquoise and gunmetal color finish, complementing the artwork's bold aesthetic.
