Still Life with Grapefruits 1954

"Still Life with Grapefruits" is an abstract oil painting on canvas created by Audrey Flack in 1954. While the title suggests a traditional still life composition, Flack's artistic approach was already moving towards abstraction. The artwork captures the essence of the subject matter through loose brushstrokes and vibrant color combinations. The dominant colors of yellow, white and pink create a sense of vibrancy and energy. This early work by Flack demonstrates her talent for color and texture, anticipating her future explorations in photorealism and large-scale installations.
