Note: The interesting reminiscence of Van Gogh in both form and brushwork is seen here. Examination of his body of work shows a definite
influence of Van Gogh in many paintings. This inspiration is also cited in several reviews. NY Times Vivien Raynor wrote that his “small compositions
aspire to Van Gogh’s”. Reviewer Oleh Sydor-Hibelynda, in an Art-Line article discussing a recent Burliuk exhibition in Kiev, remarked, "In America,
he became known as the American van Gogh,"

David Burliuk was an important Russian/American early avant-garde painter. His work ranges from fauvist primitive peasant
paintings from his Russian roots, to more lyrical Van Gogh-influenced works, as well as symbolic and expressionist paintings
executed in this country after his immigration in 1922.
Burliuk studied at the Kazan School of Fine Arts, Odessa, in Moscow, Munich, and in Paris at the École des Beaux Arts.
He was a founding member of "Die Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Riders), and "Sturm" with Picasso, Kandinsky, 1910-14. His
work is housed in 28 American museums, including the Whitney, Smithsonian, Guggenheim, and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Unfortunately, many of his Russian works disappeared during the Russian Revolution.
Reviewer Oleh Sydor-Hibelynda, in an article discussing a Burliuk exhibition in Kiev, remarked, "In America, he became known
as the American Van Gogh." In 1949-50, Burliuk authored a special research on the works of Van Gogh in Arles. “Still Life
with Flowers in a Green Vase” was most likely done during, or just after, that period, as it embodies strong Van Gogh
influences in subject matter, composition and brushwork. However its essence remains both Russian and poetic.
