Still Life 1955

"Still Life" (1955) by Gino Severini, a prominent figure in the Italian Futurist movement, exemplifies the Cubist aesthetic through its geometric composition and bold color choices. The work depicts a still life arrangement featuring a fish on a table, simplified into a series of interlocked planes and forms, creating a sense of depth and dynamism. Severini's characteristic use of bright colors, including orange, blue, and black, contributes to the vibrant energy of the composition, typical of his post-Futurist artistic approach. The interplay of light and shadow further enhances the three-dimensionality of the objects, blurring the boundaries between real and imagined forms.
