Still Life with Oranges 1911

"Still Life with Oranges" by Auguste Herbin is a Cubist painting from 1911 that exemplifies the artistic movement's emphasis on geometric shapes and fragmented forms. The painting depicts a bowl of oranges, a jug, and other fruit on a table. Herbin’s use of bold colors and flat planes creates a sense of depth and movement. The simplified forms and geometric patterns highlight the abstract qualities of the objects, highlighting a shift in artistic thinking during the early 20th century.
