Still life of flowers by Georges Rival(French 20th century), circa 1960, 31" x 27" in frame, 23" x 19".//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////David's note: A very nice example of the School of Paris era of paintings, with the post modern influence of Picasso and Cezanne.Rival is both influenced and original in his execution of a classic subject, a vase of flowers on the table still life, what makes this a little nicer and unusual than the average work is the African sculpture on the right, clearly an influence from the interest and obsession with primitive tribal works in Paris in the 1950's, that many artists embraced.The period handcarved wood frame and the linen mat make it a nice period package.

Good condition overall, some water stains on the linen mat lower area.
