Description
Still Life with Calla Lilies in the Mirror by Max Pechstein uses flowers, a vase and their reflected setting to build a vivid arrangement of color and shape. Painted in 1917, the work contrasts the pale curves of the lilies with darker outlines and saturated surrounding colors. The mirror adds another layer to the composition, drawing attention to the relationship between the flowers and the space around them.
The painting reflects Pechstein’s Expressionist approach: simplified forms and assertive color create the mood rather than a finely blended illusion of depth. The painted mirror frame remains part of the artwork, helping to organize the scene. This giclée reproduction offers a compact floral subject with the bold character of an early twentieth-century still life.
