Still life on the dresser — Fine Art

Objects sit on a wooden dresser in Still life on the dresser. Painted blocks and drawn lines hold the forms together. The image comes from Pablo Picasso working in a cubist style. The marks stay clear and the colours stay steady on the paper.

The paper gives the picture a flat look. The light does not bounce off the surface, so the grey tones keep their tone. A fine art piece like this sits on a wall above a desk. The frame follows the room. A light frame on a dark wall makes the painted planes stand out.

It works on the wall of a bedroom near the bed. From the foot of the bed you see the grouped shapes first. Closer in you notice the smaller drawn lines. The dresser objects read as a simple still life arrangement.
