Bunch of flowers – аrt on words 2

Hi dears!

Today we are pleased to present a painting of Andrey Muntz, called “Bunch of flowers” which is available for sale.

“This picture was painted in 2009 and represents an attempt to combine abstract and realistic forms. So it turned out as a half-abstract bunch of flowers, the size is 120х90 cm which is like enlarged A3 sheet, one of my favourite sizes because I am an architect and I am used to drawing on A3. Ackwardly they do not sell canvas of this size in shops but I stretch the canvas myself… There’s a lot of white and fair colours which looks festive, I love white and like a regular tennis player I insist on using it in painture.”

Casanova’s breakfast, Andrey Muntz

The painting is called “Casanova’s breakfast”, it was created in 1995 by a famous Russian painter and architect Andrey Muntz.

It was one of my first paintings and I was scared then to paint in bright colors. Some time ago my friend painter from Israel, looking at my brighter paintings said “Ok, I see you had never attended any Art school!” Say, I am not against education, having being myself a teacher in the Architectural institute for over 46 years… And yes, some of my students are afraid of using free style, though we remember Matisse, who used clear colors without fear. The painting is also interesting as you can see Meganom on the background, I spent some years in Sudak and its suburbs…
