Eggplant and Tomatoes 1926

"Eggplant and Tomatoes" is a 1926 watercolor painting by American artist Charles Demuth, known for his Precisionist style. This still life depicts a simple arrangement of a large eggplant, tomatoes, and pears on a white tablecloth, with a partially visible blue and white porcelain plate in the background. Demuth’s precise and detailed brushstrokes create a sense of clarity and geometric order, reflecting the Precisionist movement's interest in modern industrial forms. The simple composition and muted colors create a tranquil and timeless atmosphere.
