Plums 1912

"Plums" (1912) by American artist Patrick Henry Bruce (1881-1936) is a classic still life painting depicting a bowl of fruit on a white cloth. The composition focuses on the simplified forms of the plums, which are rendered in shades of green, brown, and purple, giving the piece a distinctly modern feel, characteristic of the artist's style. Bruce, a significant figure in the early 20th-century American art scene, explored a simplified style that emphasized form and color, making "Plums" a fascinating example of his artistic approach.
