story of the work:

Cesar Klein's "Still Life," created in 1925, exemplifies the artist's exploration of form and color within the still life genre, reflecting the influence of modernist movements in early 20th-century art. The painting is notable for its vibrant palette and dynamic composition, which contribute to its significance in the context of Brazilian modernism and Klein's broader oeuvre.

Description of the work:

Cesar Klein's "Still Life" features a meticulously arranged composition of various objects, including fruits and vessels, rendered with a keen attention to detail and a vibrant color palette. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the forms, while the harmonious arrangement reflects a balance between realism and artistic interpretation.
