Still Life 1908 - 1912

"Still Life" by Roger de La Fresnaye, painted between 1908 and 1912, depicts a chair with a seemingly draped cloth, a pot, and a few other objects. The Cubist painting, displayed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases de La Fresnaye's fascination with form and geometric shapes, utilizing fragmented perspectives and flattened forms to create an abstract and visually engaging composition. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth to the otherwise flat, two-dimensional surface, giving the objects an almost sculptural presence.
