This Hermann Max Pechstein print is available as a fine art print, handmade framed print or canvas panel. Its sophisticated blue palette works especially well in dining rooms, living rooms and statement gallery walls.

Flowers, colour and decorative rhythm

The bouquet spreads upward and outward while the patterned cloth provides a dense decorative base. Layered blues and greens dominate, with yellow flower accents animating the cooler field.

About Hermann Max Pechstein

Hermann Max Pechstein (1881–1955) was a German painter and printmaker and a major figure in German Expressionism. He joined Die Brücke in 1906 and developed a recognisable language of forceful contour, simplified form and heightened colour. Landscapes, fishing communities, portraits, nudes and still lifes remained recurring subjects throughout his career.

Style and technique

Pechstein organises the objects through broad shapes, strong outlines and deliberately intensified colour. Rather than pursuing polished naturalism, he uses contrast and pattern to make the arrangement feel immediate and decorative.
