Details
Charley Toorop's painting Poppies depicts three vivid red flowers that stand out sharply against a cooler background. The bold colours and monumental composition make the flowers almost tangible and convey the intensity of a portrait. As the daughter of the renowned painter Jan Toorop, Charley developed her own distinctive style: expressive realism with sharp forms and striking colours, establishing her as a leading figure in Dutch figurative art. Poppies embodies her pursuit of 'inspired imagination': revealing a deeper emotional layer within visible reality. While realism remains its foundation, the expressive power and monumental composition lift the subject above the everyday.
