Still Life with Knife 1920

"Still Life with Knife" is a 1920 painting by Louis Marcoussis, a Polish-French painter known for his works in the Cubist and Synthetic Cubist styles. The painting features a still life composition with a distinct cubist aesthetic. Geometric shapes and flat planes dominate the artwork, depicting a blue bottle and a knife amidst a jumble of other still life objects. The composition is fragmented, with shapes overlapping and intersecting, creating a sense of depth and dynamism, characteristic of Cubist art. The painting is a testament to Marcoussis's mastery of the Cubist style and his exploration of form and space.
