More about this artwork
"Flower Vase in Red Interior" (1930) by Thorvald Erichsen is a vibrant exploration of color and form that immediately captivates the viewer. In this exquisite painting, Erichsen depicts a lively bouquet of flowers overflowing from a white vase, set against a backdrop of a vividly painted interior. The composition is striking, with the lush, textured brushstrokes of the flowers bringing a dynamic contrast against the smooth and boldly colored surfaces of the red walls and blue window frame.The choice of colors is particularly noteworthy; the reds, blues, and the diverse hues of the flowers create a sense of warmth and depth, invoking a feeling of coziness and domestic tranquility. To the right, a partially opened window shows a glimpse of the exterior, suggesting a connection between the indoor comfort and the outer world, which adds an element of contemplative depth to the scene.Erichsen's style, characterized by its loose impressionistic brushwork, allows for an interplay of light and shadow that gives the painting a lively, almost moving quality. This piece is not just a still life; it's a snapshot of a moment, rich with emotion and the simple beauty of everyday life.

Thorvald Erichsen was a Norwegian Post-Impressionist painter; primarily known for landscapes and still lifes.
Thorvald Erichsen was born in Trondheim, Norway. He was the son of Ernst Erichsen (1820-1869) and Trine Jensine Rian (1829-1884). Erichsen's father was a confectioner and died when Erichsen was very young.
Although at first he wanted to be a pianist, in 1886 he began studying law, then dropped out and attended a painting school run by Knud Bergslien, where he completed a course in arts and crafts. He later moved to Copenhagen, where he became a student of Christian Zahrtmann, who had a greater influence on his artistic development.
