Nature morte à la tasse de café 1926

"Nature morte à la tasse de café" (Still Life with a Cup of Coffee), a 1926 painting by Auguste Herbin, depicts a simple arrangement of everyday objects: a loaf of bread, rolls, a cup of coffee and a spoon. The painting's flat, geometric forms and use of bold colors are characteristic of the Cubist movement, which Herbin was associated with in the early 20th century. The simplified representation of these objects, arranged in a seemingly random pattern, evokes a sense of the ordinary made extraordinary.
