About the Item

Bruce Kurland – Still Life with Decoy and Shells Oil on board, framed in antique gold leaf A master of intimacy and restraint, Bruce Kurland’s Still Life with Decoy and Shells is a quietly arresting meditation on balance, memory, and the beauty of humble objects. In this luminous composition, Kurland elevates the everyday: a weathered duck decoy, a delicate brass vessel, and dangling delicate shells rendered with near-spiritual reverence. Set against a deep, contemplative background and composed with classical precision, each element casts its own rich shadow, whispering of time and transience. This painting is a prime example of Kurland's hallmark style—meticulous detail, a limited palette, and a reverence for stillness. The crackled gold-leaf frame adds a museum-quality elegance, echoing the timelessness of the subject matter. Whether you're a seasoned collector of American realism or simply someone who appreciates subtle beauty and craftsmanship, this piece is both a visual anchor and a contemplative companion. Owning this work means more than acquiring a painting—it's an invitation into Kurland’s quiet world, where the overlooked becomes the unforgettable.
