Henri Matisse fascinated me with his ability to capture fruit in its essence. Not like a hyper realism photo-like oil painting, his still life was an expression of the life within. In this small, simple, oil on canvas still life from 1986 I tried to find the same essence from the fruit I got from Aldi in Düsseldorf while visiting the art academy there. The darker outline and expressionistic painting of the fruit presented on a off-white canvas setting highlight the vibrancy and depth of the subjects. The canvas is not mounted on a stretcher frame so it can be framed flat behind glass or it can be stretched on a frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
