Melon and Aubergine 1936

"Melon and Aubergine" is a 1936 woodcut by Australian artist Lionel Lindsay (1874-1961). The artwork depicts a still life of a melon, eggplant, and grapes arranged in a bowl on a patterned tablecloth with a knife beside it. The artist's characteristic bold, black-and-white style, reminiscent of German Expressionism, is evident in the woodcut's strong lines and dramatic contrasts. Lindsay's subject matter, like the still life, is often drawn from everyday objects and scenes, offering a glimpse into the ordinary world through a unique artistic lens.
