Adam LehrLes Gros Prunes, plums still lifecirca 1900
circa 1900
About the Item
This still life of Plums is a top notch example of 19th century still life painting! Beautiful quality and striking but also spare and honest in nature which is what typified American art at this early time.American still life painting is a fascinating and rare subject. In comparison to European still lifes, Americans exhibited a sparer, humble style and though tables overflowing with fruits, fish, and flowers were not a favorite amongst Americans, Lehr excelled at the genre. Lehr forgoes an English title with this painting, channeling his European counterparts, and opts for the French Les Gros Prunes (Big Plums). This particular painting can be compared to the works of Levi Wells Prentice, who commonly painted various fruits spilling forth from a container. It was a way to paint a large group of fruit in an informal and out-of-doors setting. Lehr has done it beautifully, capturing the texture of the plums in a realistic manner.
