Le pichet blanc 1926

"Le pichet blanc" (1926) by Amedee Ozenfant is a striking example of the Purist movement, a style that emphasizes geometric forms and a limited palette. This still life depicts a white pitcher, bottles, and other objects arranged on a tabletop, with the objects simplified into their essential shapes. The composition is balanced and harmonious, highlighting the formal elements of the painting. The use of muted colors and flat planes creates a sense of tranquility and order, characteristic of Purist aesthetics. Ozenfant's work embodies the movement's focus on pure form and clarity, making this artwork an essential piece in the study of early 20th-century art.
