“Still life hyacinths carpet” is an artwork created by August Macke in 1910, falling under the Expressionism art movement. It features dimensions of 70 x 120 cm and belongs to the still life genre. Currently, the artwork is in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a vividly colored scene with a strong emphasis on bold contrasts and dynamic shapes, characteristic of the Expressionist style. A white vase adorned with green floral patterns stands to the left, alongside a bowl filled with oranges and lemons, their bright hues contrasting against the rich tapestry on which they rest. On the right, a green pot holds blooming hyacinths, their linear form adding verticality to the composition. The background radiates with a warm yellow, further enhancing the vibrancy and emotional intensity of the scene. The intricate patterns of the carpet add a layer of complexity, grounding the still life in a textured, decorative environment.
