Grey Still Life 1948

"Grey Still Life" is a 1948 work by American artist Adja Yunkers, known for his abstract and expressive style. The artwork, executed in a muted palette, showcases Yunkers' exploration of form and texture. The composition features overlapping shapes and lines, suggesting a still life arrangement, but the forms are abstracted and rendered in a way that is reminiscent of cubism. The use of various shades of gray, with touches of yellow, green, red, and white, creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, inviting the viewer to engage with the interplay of light and shadow.
