In "Flowers in a White Bowl," circa 1933, Ivon Hitchens masterfully orchestrates a symphony of color and form, capturing the ephemeral beauty of floral arrangements within a domestic setting. This painting exemplifies Hitchens' transition towards a more fluid and expressive style, where the boundaries between subject and environment dissolve into harmonious abstraction. Originially acquired from London's Lefevre Gallery by the doyen of all art dealers Ernest Duveen, the painting has been part of several esteemed collections, underscoring its enduring allure among collectors. Today, "Flowers in a White Bowl" stands as a testament to Hitchens' innovative vision, bridging traditional still life with modernist sensibilities.
