Cornflowers is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Russian artist Sergei Ivanovich Osipov (1915–1985), executed in 1976 and related to his most famous works in the genre of still life.
Osipov was able to raise a great theme in the genre of still life and make it close and understandable to viewers.
This picture revealed an artistic style that distinguishes his work, and in the words of Nikolai Punin, can be called the "Leningrad sensation of painting... with a kind of deeply honest, clean person deep relationship to the means of expression."
