This floral still life is more a Art Deco style than a 17th century Dutch style.
During the Deco period ‘true realism’ was not very much appreciated. There were a number of academies that were still teaching the ‘fine’ arts, but they were far and few between. When I was doing my academy entrance exams, it was all post impressionism. Bernard Buffet and Utrillo were the leading artist of that day, but not taken as seriously anymore by the art market today due to the amount of prints that spoiled their future (One of the reasons I am not a fan of prints). This is an original work, not a copy of some else. A similar composition of flowers I had done 25 or more years ago, although differently and in a smaller size, I was drawn back to do it again in a more impressive manner. I believe I succeeded with this one. Definitely one of the my favorites.

All art by Jos Kivits

A painting of this calibre is and always will be an eye catcher when people realise it has not been created with shortcuts and tricks, but genuinely by discipline and artistry without smoke and mirrors. It is a work I cannot get away from as it is in my soul to paint what every eye can see without the help of any kind of trickery or Painted in 2005 and several times perfected and varnished over the years. This very work has never been exhibited, although one similar depicting different objects was revealed in Jos’ 2018 exhibition.

The style and technique is considered ‘Classical European’ and first exposed to Australia by some well-known earlier artists like Hans Heysen, Arthur Streeton, & Besie Davidson.Apples and pears, glass of red wine,  opened wall nuts, and a 18th century fruit knife, all on a stone ledge
