Jacques Villon’s 1949 masterpiece, 'Small Vase of Flowers (Petite vase de fleurs),' represents a pinnacle of mid-century Cubist abstraction. Villon, a crucial figure in the Puteaux Group and brother to Marcel Duchamp, masterfully deconstructs the traditional still life into a harmonious grid of geometric planes and delicate tonal shifts. This work captures the intellectual rigor of late Cubism, translating organic forms into architectural facets. Each archival reproduction is meticulously rendered to preserve the artist's precise line work and subtle color relationships. To ensure the integrity of Villon's composition, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in its original, uncropped proportions, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
