Ruprecht von Kaufmann : Sculptural Paintings : Pappi

Pappi

Dandelion

Ruprecht von Kaufmann

The title refers to the little parachutes of dandelion seeds. They are called pappi (plural of pappus). Papi is also what children in Germany, like my Mom, call their Dads.

I drew a lot of inspiration for this painting from old black and white films, and the dramatic contrast of black and white.
