About the Item

This striking 1949 oil on board by Christine Opolus exemplifies post-war American cubism with its flattened forms, interlocking planes, and richly modernist palette. Signed and dated “2/49 Opolus” at lower left, the painting depicts a fragmented tabletop scene with profile, fish, and abstracted vessels — all rendered in a graphic, spatially complex arrangement. The composition recalls the influence of Picasso and Léger, but with a distinctly mid-century American restraint and subtlety of tone. Surface craquelure adds a textural layer that enhances its vintage appeal. The painting is housed in a substantial 20th-century giltwood frame with classic molding.
