Apples 1942

"Apples" is a 1942 lithograph by Mexican artist Alfredo Zalce (1908-2003). The artwork features a still life of apples, painted in bold, graphic strokes of black, yellow, and red. The composition is simple yet striking, with the apples arranged in a bowl and spilling out onto a table. Zalce's use of bold colors and simplified forms is characteristic of his style, which was influenced by both European modernism and Mexican folk art. The work reflects a strong interest in the simplicity of natural forms, a theme that often appeared in Zalce's work.
