Still Life
1917
Moïse Kisling brings a burst of vibrant energy to a simple tabletop scene, featuring a stark white pitcher standing guard over a plate of ripe peaches and dark grapes. Painted in 1917 during the heart of World War I, this piece reflects the bold, flattened forms and rich colors typical of the School of Paris, where Kisling was a central figure alongside Modigliani and Soutine. Notice the heavy, rhythmic brushstrokes in the background and the striking red-and-white fringed tablecloth that seems to vibrate off the canvas, turning an everyday breakfast setup into a dynamic study of color and shape.
