Foerster, Erwin (1893 – 1960). Still Life with Flower Pots and Copper Kettle.

This captivating piece by Erwin Foerster, titled “Still Life with Flower Pots and Copper Kettle,” showcases his unique impressionistic style. Painted in the 1930s on masonite with oil, it measures 53 x 41. Foerster’s influence on Estonian landscapes is remarkable, and this particular painting holds a somewhat restrained freshness that characterizes his style of still life. The composition of flower pots and a copper kettle is masterfully crafted, and the artwork is signed on the lower right by the artist. Erwin Foerster’s art education includes studies with K. Purvitise at St. Petersburg and Professor V. Mate, and his work has been exhibited since 1923. His departure from Estonia in 1940 led to his eventual demise in Northern Germany Maas, Buchholz.
