{"product_id":"flowers-gustave-de-smet","title":"Flowers - Gustave de Smet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA still life arrangement by Belgian artist Gustave de Smet, 'Flowers' features simplified forms and a muted palette, characteristic of Flemish Expressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGustave de Smet (1877-1943) was a Belgian painter associated with the Flemish Expressionist movement. His work often explored themes of domestic life, rural scenes, and portraits, characterised by simplified forms and a muted palette. De Smet's artistic journey involved periods of experimentation with various styles, including luminism and cubism, before he arrived at his mature expressionist style. He was a member of the art groups ' লা Vie' and ' লা Lanterne sourde', and his work is held in numerous public collections. This oil on canvas, titled 'Flowers', presents a still life arrangement with a distinctive, somewhat abstracted approach. The composition features a collection of blooms in a vase, rendered with simplified shapes and a limited colour range. The flowers themselves are depicted as rounded forms in shades of yellow, orange, and brown, while the surrounding background and vase are composed of geometric planes in muted tones. The brushwork is visible, adding texture and depth to the painting. The overall effect is one of understated elegance, with a focus on form and colour rather than precise botanical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/in-front-of-the-hat-shop-woman-with-red-jacket-and-child-august-macke\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eIn Front of the Hat Shop (Woman with Red Jacket and Child) - August Macke — August Macke\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gustave De Smet","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57737045049679,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57737045967183,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57737045999951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Flowers_Poster_CompositorV1_1779240245231.jpg?v=1779242770","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/flowers-gustave-de-smet","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
