Nature morte aux oignons 1926

"Nature morte aux oignons" (Still Life with Onions) is a 1926 painting by French artist Jean Fautrier. The artwork depicts a simple composition of four onions and a knife on a tabletop, painted in a style that reflects Fautrier's interest in exploring the textures and forms of everyday objects. The use of thick, impasto paint, particularly in the depiction of the onions and the knife, creates a sense of tactile presence, engaging the viewer in a tangible experience of the depicted objects. This work is an example of Fautrier's early artistic exploration, and it predates his later experimentation with unconventional materials, like the "Ocre" series.
