The still life with a bouquet is a masterful example of Coubin's supreme (neo) classicism from the best and most attractive period for collectors between the two world wars, when the author achieved an international reputation. It comes from the collection of a renowned art dealer - Adolphe Basler. It combines a crystal clear, meticulously cultivated art form with an idea of ​​the calm, quiet beauty of the home nook, resulting from the inner harmony of the individual components of the painting. Intellect and delicate artistic sensibility equally contribute to the extraordinary charm of this work. Just as the writer and poet Francis Carco wrote about the author's painting: “This (…) orderly, well-thought-out painting does not allow us to escape it. He controls the spirit as well as the senses. ”In his work, Coubine has always followed the principle that the artist's mission is not to seek out unusual impressions, but to patiently study reality and nature. Coubine is not surprised by the selection of objects, but by their arrangement and painting. Everything here is balanced into a simple and at the same time extremely noble effect, with brilliant sensitivity and sophistication of the painting means. His work fully resonates with its classicism, which made him famous - his unique sense of harmonious vision of things, peace and rhythmic balance comes into play.
