The Grapefruit
£493.00
20th-century oil on canvas, monogrammed (illegible) in the lower left corner. Framed in red velvet with giltwood molding.
A small format still life depicting a cut grapefruit on a plate. The subject is treated in a direct way, with a thick touch and visible strokes, creating a very textured effect.
The tight, frontal composition highlights shape and color while the pairing of warm fruit and cool blue creates marked contrast, reinforced through the paint.
The ensemble evokes certain modernist studies of the early 20th century, close to Expressionist and Fauvist works.
