Briefly about the painting:
This still life refers to the works of the Berlin creative period and is made in a picturesque Fauvist manner. A feature of the work is the synthetism of the techniques – the artist summarized his quests from the preceding stages and deliberately concentrated on the genre of still life. The painting of Pougny gained figurativeness; he deformed objects in the spirit of Cezannism, introducing mysteriousness into the interpretation of reality through the presence of incomprehensible forms that the viewer can interpret in his own way. The elements that look like eyes and drops give some intimacy to this work.
