Fruit Still Life with Blue Jug 1930

"Fruit Still Life with Blue Jug" (1930) by Hungarian artist János Kmetty (1889-1975) is a vibrant example of the still life genre. This artwork showcases Kmetty's unique ability to capture the essence of everyday objects through a simplified geometric form, creating a striking interplay of colors and shapes. The composition features a round table, a blue jug, a pitcher, and a plate of fruit, all rendered with bold strokes and a limited palette, emphasizing the artist's exploration of geometric abstraction, a characteristic of early 20th-century art.
