Still Life 1957

"Still Life" is a 1957 work by Filipino artist Vicente Manansala. The print depicts a simple still life arrangement of two cups and a saucer, rendered in a distinct, simplified style that reflects Manansala's signature "transparent cubism." The bold, graphic outlines and the limited color palette give the work a strong sense of structure and dynamism, while the textured background adds a layer of visual interest. This piece exemplifies Manansala's mastery of printmaking, showcasing his unique artistic vision and his exploration of everyday objects through a modern lens.
