Candelabro
c. 1939
Elisabeth Fulda’s 1939 study of a glass candlestick is a masterclass in capturing fragility. The pale, sea-foam green vessel floats against a cream background, its bulbous body and beaded stem rendered with such precision you can almost see the light passing through it. Created just as the world was plunging into the chaos of World War II, this quiet modernist still life offers a moment of calm, focusing entirely on the simple, elegant curves of an everyday object that might have sat on a dining table.
