Vintage palette knife painting by Zijlstra for Blossom, 1950

Zijlstra's Pallet Knife Painting - Blossom - 1950s Netherlands, 1950sGreat oil painting done with the palette knife technique by the painter Zijlstra of the Material Arts Movement (Materieschilderkunst). Framed in teak wood, this work of art on canvas is very organic. The palette knife strokes are circular and abstract. The amount of oil paint applied corresponds to the thickness of the paint layer. The more palette knife strokes applied, the more height and relief there is. The flowers are the lightest of the colors used, and they almost jump out of the picture. The subtle shine of blue across the background implies spring. A very unique work of art. No photo retouching was done. The photos are taken with flashlights to expose as much detail as possible. Photos may appear a little lighter than the object in normal situation.Dimensions:Portray: 40 x 60 x 3 cmFrame: 42 x 62 x 3 cm
