- Description: Roberto Ossaye favored the figure, but Naturaleza Muerta en un Tema de Laboratorio demonstrates his thematic breadth. The beakers, mortar and pestle, and other laboratory equipment offered Ossaye a chance to experiment with Cubist techniques. The flattened planes and transparent forms of the still life question the viewer’s perception of both the painting and visual experience. Ossaye painted Naturaleza Muerta en un Tema de Laboratorio as a form of aesthetic research, exploring the relationship between painting and the nature of perception. -Text by Mark Andrew White
