Composition with Four Vessels / Unknown Artist, (c. Mid-20th Century)
Composition with Four Vessels / Unknown Artist, (c. Mid-20th Century)
A quiet, meditative still life where simple vessels are transformed into monumental studies of colour and form.
Four vessels, a red pitcher, a yellow ewer, a blue beaker, and a tall green bottle, are arranged in a tight, architectural cluster against a deep teal ground. The artist reduces each object to its essential geometric form, rendering them in bold, flat planes of primary and secondary colour with only subtle modelling to suggest volume. This is a sophisticated work of post-cubist still life, reminiscent of Morandi in its humble subject yet distinct in its vibrant palette; it's a timeless statement on the quiet beauty found in the relationships between everyday objects.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Inscriptions: None visible.
Condition: Presented in a simple, vintage painted-wood frame. The board is stable. The paint surface shows some light craquelure and surface grime consistent with its age.
