Fruit Dish
Fruit Dish (French: Le Compotier) is an oil-on-canvas painting executed in 1908–1909 by Georges Braque. It has the dimensions of 53 by 64 cm. It his held at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm.[1]
After becoming influenced by Paul Cézanne, Braque went to embrace cubism in 1908, due to the influence of Pablo Picasso. This cubist still life depicts apples, pears, a lemon and perhaps a banana in and around a fruit bowl on a table. The still life became a usual theme for cubist painters. In this painting, where the influence of Cézanne and Picasso is apparent, the fruits and the bowl expand beyond the confines of a singular viewpoint, and the traditional notions of perspective are dissolved.[2][3]
