Eggplant and Tomatoes — Fine Art

Two dark vegetables rest on a simple support in Eggplant and Tomatoes - 1926. The eggplant is a narrow violet shape and the tomatoes are round red forms. The forms read as flat painted planes with clear edges.

Charles Demuth painted still lifes with measured outlines and solid colour. This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel. The frame gives the painted planes a clean border.

A back panel keeps the sheet flat behind the glass. You can hang the piece ready to hang when the shop fits it for you. Hang it in a kitchen over a table near the stove. From that spot the red tomatoes read as simple round shapes against the darker violet.
