Ring Bottle c. 1936

A. Zaidenberg made this ring bottle painting with watercolor. I can only imagine what Zaidenberg thought when he made this. Did he sit still while he painted, or maybe he moved around a bit, thinking, what colors should I use? It’s fun how the paint is a bit runny; you can see it in some of the green parts. And look at the top where you put your mouth to drink, it's such a funny shape, like a little hat. It reminds me of Morandi’s bottles, because they are like real bottles but also kind of not, like a nice dream. I feel like painters are always talking to each other, even if they don't know each other. Zaidenberg made this picture, and now we're looking at it, and that's like a conversation. What will we make after seeing this? That is the question.
