Still Life 1928

Russell Green's 1928 "Still Life" is a striking example of Cubist art. The composition is fragmented, with geometric shapes and forms overlapping to create a sense of depth and dynamism. The subject matter, a vase of flowers, is rendered in a simplified, almost abstract manner, reflecting the Cubist movement's emphasis on form and structure over realistic representation. Green's use of dark and light tones adds to the piece's sense of dimensionality and creates a strong contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the central focal point of the vase. The artist's signature, prominently placed at the bottom of the print, adds an element of authenticity and signifies the artwork's artistic value.
