Still Life with Lychees 1931

Fujishima Takeji's "Still Life with Lychees" (1931) is a vibrant example of the artist's mastery of still life. The composition features a bowl of lychees, rendered in bold, expressive brushstrokes that convey the fruits' texture and color. The green leaves and branches add depth to the scene, while the contrasting white background emphasizes the subject. Takeji's work is notable for its blend of Western artistic influences with traditional Japanese aesthetics, resulting in a uniquely captivating visual experience.
