Bouquet of Roses Recently sold the Salon d'AutomneAntique oil painting from France: Oil painting on canvas signed Hlne Bokanowski (1910 2000) and dated '57. The female artist Bokanowski created this simple and lovely still life, which is incredibly dynamic upon closer inspection. The paint is applied in thick and smooth brushes, creating interesting volume. There is a play of realism to the work, with the bright, almost "pop like" flowers emerging from the matte black background. About the artist:
