Karl Schmidt-Rottluff increasingly painted flower still lifes in the 1960s. He deliberately chose variosu types of flowers and distinguished them by accentuated strokes of the brush, without disregarding the colors' power. Our work is a typical example of his intense examination of this subject. [EH].
