Tulips in a Green Vase is a radical American adoption of Fauvism, painted when Maurer was living in France. His streamlined image of two red tulips in an aqua pitcher, two wedge-shaped pieces of bread, and a blue cloth presents not only a jarring chromatic symphony, but also the transformation of a still life into abstract symbols. Influenced by artists like Matisse, Cézanne, and Degas, as well as the philosopher Henri Bergson, Maurer sought to paint through his emotional responses to his subject—to convey the essences of things, his relationship with them, and their relationships with each other.
