Peinture/Nature Morte c. 1924

"Peinture/Nature Morte" (c. 1924) by Patrick Henry Bruce is a striking example of abstract art. Utilizing bold geometric shapes, Bruce creates a sense of depth and movement. The interplay of vibrant colors, like turquoise, pink, and white, against a black background, draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. Bruce's exploration of form and color aligns with the principles of Cubism and other avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. This painting is a testament to his unique ability to abstract natural forms into a dynamic composition.
