Andr\u00e9 Evard’s still life from 1928 combines classic pictorial motifs with the clarity of modernism. The artist arranges fruits, a wine glass, and a bottle on a table \u2013 now completely dissolved into geometrically stylized forms. The objects are delineated from each other by hard contours and depicted in flat color segments that fill the entire pictorial space. The skillful combination of angular and round shapes is also of interest here. This creates a harmonious composition dominated by dark shades of red. Evard plays with surface and space, light and shadow: by means of striking lines, he shifts the vanishing point to the center of the picture, thus introducing a sense of depth despite the flat design and reduced formal language. The composition testifies to Evard’s engagement with Cubism and his search for a harmonious pictorial structure, and is therefore exemplary of his work in the late 1920s. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
