The Peaches 1914

"The Peaches" is a still life painting created by Othon Friesz in 1914. It features a bowl filled with peaches, a vase, and a small book, all arranged on a tabletop. The artwork is characterized by Friesz's bold brushstrokes and simplified forms, typical of the Fauvist movement he was associated with. The use of dark, saturated colors creates a sense of depth and volume. The composition is simple, yet engaging, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow on the objects. This painting showcases the artist's mastery of still life composition and his distinctive artistic style. The work currently resides in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
