Fiasco E Bicchiere by Carlo Carra — Fine Art

A broken bottle and a glass stand together in Fiasco E Bicchiere, a still life study by Carlo Carrà. The shapes are built with sharp planes and muted tones, drawn from the painter Futurist and Metaphysical periods. You see the heavy glass and the split bottle, set against a plain ground.

The white frame gives the image a clean edge that holds the broken shapes in place. A wood frame warms the muted tones. A dark wood frame pulls the eye to the bottle. A black frame sets the glass against a hard border. Choose the fine art version that suits the room.

The picture fits a study wall above a desk. From the doorway you notice the bottle first, then the glass. At the desk you see the flat planes in the paint.
