Still Life with Yellow Tulips

Still Life with Yellow Tulips (1912):


by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, who died on August 10 in 1976. The work is at the Albertina museum in Vienna, Austria. You can see more of his work here. I'm joining the weekly T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering with the cups in this painting.

I'm no judge, but those don't look like either yellow or tulips to me. This one, now this is a painting with yellow tulips:

Charles Kay Robertson, Still Life of Tulips (or Spring Tulips) 1897

  1. Maybe yellow tulips are in the eye of the beholder. Definitely cups for tea or coffee. Happy T Day

  2. Another perfect piece for T day. :) I see tulips there. I guess since my drawing is never very great I can tell something that may not perfect form. AS that is how my drawings look. I like both paintings as different as they are. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika

  3. LOL - no in the first painting I would never have called those tulips or yellow. Tuesday is certainly a terrific day to gather :)

  7. Well they are super paintings, and a quick glace would have me saying, yes they are tulips. Its only when you study the painting that the doubts begin to set in. They are however pretty flowers.
    Happy T day wishes.

  8. I have to agree that the flowers don't look that much like yellow tulips, but they certainly make a great table decoration for the tea pot, tea service, and cups. The other painting is far more realistic, but I like them both. Thank you SO much for sharing both paintings with us for T this Tuesday.

    Sorry I was late visiting. I was out standing in line to vote.

  11. I have to agree with you! Even though the first one is from the Albertina , the wonderful museum from my hometown, I like the second painting much more.

  12. I agree, D. Not yellow and not tulips. The two extreme tulip paintings make good contrast. The first is unrealistic and childlike. The second looks almost like a photograph.

    Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
