Nature Morte 1922

"Nature Morte" (1922) by María Blanchard is a Cubist still life, featuring fragmented forms and geometric shapes in a muted color palette. The composition is characterized by overlapping planes and a sense of depth created through the interplay of light and shadow. The artist’s use of flat planes and bold outlines contribute to the abstract quality of the work. The overall effect is a dynamic and expressive portrayal of everyday objects, highlighting Blanchard’s interest in Cubist aesthetics and her ability to capture the essence of form through simplified shapes and colors.
