Peaches 1971

"Peaches" (1971), by American artist Janet Fish, is a vibrant and detailed depiction of a supermarket carton of peaches. Through the use of oil pastel, Fish captures the glossy sheen of the fruit's skin and the subtle variations in color. This still life is representative of Fish's signature style, characterized by its bold, graphic quality and focus on everyday objects. The painting highlights the beauty found in ordinary things and showcases Fish's remarkable ability to translate the texture and light of her subject matter onto the canvas.
