Renoir once told his friend Georges Rivière, "Painting flowers rests my brain." Bouquet , painted at the very end of the artist's life, seems to manifest such peace and ease. A decadent bouquet of chrysanthemums bursts from a blue-and-white pitcher, also apparently decorated with chrysanthemums. Loose impasto brushwork forms the flowers' bright fringed petals and swirling centers; thin washes of the same colors energize the background.
