Vogelvielfalt (A Variety of Birds)

Visual Description

On a large red field framed by black ornamental panels, numerous native birds sit on fine branches: blue tit, great tit, goldfinch, great spotted woodpecker, kingfisher, bullfinch, chaffinch and more. Each bird is painted true to life, while the branches are only delicately suggested.

Artistic Interpretation

The picture is a catalog of diversity and at the same time a declaration of love for native birdlife. Isolated on the red ground, each bird becomes a small jewel that works on its own and in interplay with the others.

Art-Historical Context

Here Graf combines the tradition of the ornithological plate with a bold, graphic composition reminiscent of design and Pop Art. The work thus stands at the threshold between his classical bird painting and his new, richly colored visual language.

Exclusivity

An unusual, highly decorative work in a 70 × 80 cm format. The combination of precise bird painting and a strong, flat red makes it a real eye-catcher.

Collector Value

A strong work for modern living spaces, kitchens, restaurants, daycare centers and educational institutions. For collectors who want to combine natural accuracy with contemporary design.
