Kruger painted a bouquet of eight, very loosely arranged sunflowers. The delicate background of the image and the matte green of the leaves make the strong yellow and brown of the flower heads work. The picture is signed at the bottom left.
Erich Krüger was born in Berlin in 1897 and died in 1978 in Benzingerode, a part of Wernigerode. He studied landscape, animal and flower painting at the Berlin Art Academy. In 1943 his Berlin apartment was bombed out and therefore he moved from Berlin to Benzingerode/Harz. He became a “resin painter” and a “flower painter.”
