Still Life with Glass 

Abraham Manievich, a Jewish-Ukrainian artist, painted "Still Life with Glass" using an impasto technique that is evocative of the Expressionist movement. Born in the late 19th century, Manievich lived through periods of intense social and political upheaval, including pogroms and revolutions in Russia. The thick, almost turbulent brushstrokes imbue the seemingly simple domestic scene with emotional weight. The glassware and fruit are not merely objects; the surface is a field of tension and texture. Manievich emigrated to the United States in 1922. Though he achieved some recognition, his work subtly speaks to the immigrant experience, echoing themes of displacement and longing. What is home? What does it mean to create a sense of belonging in the world? "Still Life with Glass" becomes a potent symbol of resilience and the search for stability amidst personal and historical turbulence.
