Modernist Apples

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

Here we see 4 pieces of fruit laid out on a blue fabric, but captured in a distinctly modernist style. Cubist elements can be seen at play here – the artist highlights the three dimensionality of the apples through abstract qualities such as form and colour. The artist builds depth through different planes of colour, which is evident in both the apples as well as the fabric that they lay on. Broad gestural brushstrokes are evident, giving this piece its painterly quality. The palette is deep, rich and earthy.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple wood frame which suits it impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 33.5 x 54.5 cm (including frame)
