Still life

In the 1950s, the artist, having reached the height of his artistic maturity, allowed himself new expressive freedom by continuing his research with the help of the themes most dear to him: the landscape, the portrait of women and the still life. In the Still Life painting of 1953, made on wood with oil colors, a composition stands out with a lively color accentuated by the richness of materials. In one interior there are only a few objects, flooded with light, assembled in the center of a small wooden table: on the colored placemat there are a pitcher and a white plate on which some fruits rest. The almost overturning table is a sign of an altered perspective of post-cubist derivation.
