Trivet c. 1941

LeRoy Griffith’s "Trivet" (c. 1941) depicts a simple cast iron kitchen utensil in a precise, almost geometric style. The artwork’s realism and monochromatic palette capture the subtle details and textures of the object, creating a sense of depth and dimension. Griffith's realistic style is a hallmark of American still life painting, showcasing the beauty of everyday objects. The piece offers a glimpse into the mundane, elevated through its artistic treatment.
