Apple 1911

Edwin Dickinson's "Apple" (1911) depicts a simple still life composition of a bottle, a plate, and an apple. The artist utilizes a somber palette of muted tones, creating a sense of quietude and contemplation. Dickinson's unique style, marked by thick brushstrokes and a focus on form, gives the objects a sense of solidity and weight. The still life is a genre often used for exploring themes of mortality, transience, and the nature of beauty.
