About the Item
Oil on canvas

Original Giltwood frame
It is likely that this work was inspired by Matthew Smith's work. Smith was a vehement colourist and crucial proponent of impressionist art in Britain. More specifically, this painting is comparable with Smith's work from the 1930s or 1940s when he became freer in his application of paint in comparison to his earlier paintings. Many of Smith's still lifes from this period are distinctive for their bold, half-block backgrounds applied with vigorous strokes of paint.
In this still life the artist's fluid brushstrokes suggest the liveliness of the fruit while in some places the paint is so thin, so that the white ground shines through as in a watercolour. The still life is propelled into the foreground - the bowl of fruit placed on the table as if to reach out of the picture plane itself.
The sketchy style of this work suggests that the artist did not use any preliminary studies but drew his composition in thin paint, diluted with oil directly onto the blank canvas. This instinctive and direct method of painting from life has resulted in an honest and dynamic composition.
