About the Item

Cubist Still Life with Wine Bottle and Plant (Two-Sided) in Oil on Masonite by Ellis Hopkins (American, b. 1952). This dynamic still life distills everyday objects into bold geometric forms and vivid color contrasts. A bottle and a vase of greenery emerge from planes of saturated red, cobalt, and violet, their contours defined by assertive black brushstrokes. Flattened shapes and angular intersections suggest both depth and abstraction, while the impasto surface adds a tactile presence. The composition balances structure with spontaneity, evoking the spirit of mid-century modernism and the expressive freedom of abstract expressionist still life. On verso, a highly abstracted still life, with a cubist influence. Unsigned, but acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Board size: 36"H x 30"W Ellis Hopkins (American, b. 1952) was born in Lawrence, Kansas, but spent most of her life in California. She lived in Monterey and Carmel Valley, where she was a prolific painter, focusing mostly on gestural abstraction, color blocking, and abstracted still lifes. She studied at the Carmel Art Institute. Exhibitions: 1981, Monterey Conference Center, Monterey, CA 1974, Pacific Grove Art Center, Pacific Grove, CA
