In a career that spanned around seven decades, Max Weiler, one of the most eminent Austrian painters of the twentieth century, produced an extensive oeuvre of paintings, works on paper, and large-format murals in public settings. The experience of nature and its spiritual dimension were pivotal to the Tyrolean artist’s work. The still life “Autumn Bouquet” dates from 1949. It marks the transition from representational painting to a style that emphasizes the expressive gesture. The muted palette of the abstractly rendered flowers and the somber gray backdrop suggest the season’s fading of natural beauty.
