Poire verte et couteau 1941

"Poire verte et couteau" (Green Pear and Knife) is a Cubist still life painted by Louis Marcoussis in 1941, the year of his death. The painting showcases Marcoussis's signature style, characterized by geometric shapes and fragmented forms. The composition is enclosed within a green frame, highlighting a green pear, a knife, and a striped object that could be a comb, with a background composed of red and yellow striped patterns. The image is a testament to Marcoussis's commitment to abstract art, while still grounding the work in recognizable elements.
