Stilleven met kom, vaas en vruchten

Stilleven met kom, vaas en vruchten
In a new light

The fruits have been painted in the style of an art movement called "Cubism" which reduces shapes to lines and surfaces, which gives all the shapes a squarish appearance. Cubism allows the viewer to see things in a new way.

The artist
