Japanische Kirschblüten in Glasvase. 1932.
Oil on canvas.
Signed in the lower right. 60.2 x 51.2 cm (23.7 x 20.1 in).
Contrary to the current catalogue raisonné, Robert Purrmann (1914-1992), the artist's son, once dated the painting to 1925. [CH]
Further works from the Max Niedermayer Collection, Limes-Verlag Wiesbaden, are currently available in our live and online auctions.
• High-contrast colors, a wealth of shapes, the charming interplay of light and shadow, and sophisticated reflections reveal Purrmann's keen sense of composition and color.
• Part of the same private German collection for over 60 years.
• A stay in Paris in 1931 and a meeting with Henri Matisse may have had a lasting influence on the artist during this period.
• Purrmann's still lifes from these years are held by important museum collections, including the Museum im Kulturspeicher der Städtischen Kunstsammlungen, Würzburg, the Sprengel Museum, Hanover, and the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart.
The work is listed under number 634 in the Hans Purrmann Archive.

"It is characteristic of Purrmann that he painted numerous bouquets of flowers. [..] The blossoming flowers, their variety, their different shapes and colors are a direct expression of life in all its abundance and beauty. By devoting himself to these bouquets in life as well as in art, Hans Purrmann created little celebrations for himself. They characterize his entire oeuvre and, alongside his other genres, form an important part of his work."
