About the Item
A striking oil on canvas still life rendered in a late Cubist idiom, this 1968 composition by V. Melo presents a disciplined yet expressive tabletop scene. The spatial relationships are fractured and reassembled with geometric clarity — a nod to Cézanne and the analytic Cubists — while the palette balances earthy tonalities with vibrant chromatic accents.
The subject, a classic still life ensemble of fruit bowl, glassware, bottle, and ceramic cup, is composed with architectural rigor. Forms are outlined and volumetrically shaded, drawing attention to their sculptural presence against a cool-toned interior. The white cloth drapery and background wall introduce light and contrast, heightening the interplay between flatness and depth.
Melo’s brushwork is deliberate and structured, emphasizing shape over gesture, with a matte surface finish and confident control of value. The piece is signed and dated lower right: V. Melo / 7.68.
