About the Item

PITCHER & PEARS Size: 60 x 51.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A expressive and lively mid-century still life from 1958 that captures a vibrant arrangement of fruit and a pitcher set against a boldly abstracted interior, executed in oil onto board. A pear, an apple, and sliced citrus rest on a geometric table surface, while a pale blue pitcher anchors the composition with sculptural solidity. Rendered in confident, textured brushstrokes, the painting channels post-Impressionist and early Modernist sensibilities. The palette is rich and varied, blending warm yellows, earthy browns, and intense reds with cooler tones of turquoise and blues. Each hue is applied with visible, gestural strokes that lend the work a sense of immediacy and rhythm. The background is an interplay of vertical and diagonal planes, suggestive of drapery or wall panels, contributing to the dynamic spatial ambiguity. This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame. The painting has some craquelure present, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has some paint losses, but this is in keeping with its vintage style. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item's condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.
