The artwork titled “4 Glasses” was created by Janet Fish in 1974. This piece belongs to the Contemporary Realism art movement and is categorized under the genre of still life.
In the artwork, four clear glasses, each filled with water, are meticulously depicted. The glasses, rendered with exceptional realism and attention to detail, reflect and refract light in a manner that captures the translucence and subtle nuances of clear glass and water. The reflections and distortions within the glasses create a complex interplay of colors and shapes, showcasing the artist’s skill in depicting light and transparency. The background is rendered in a way that emphasizes the presence of the glasses without detracting from their detailed and intricate portrayal. This still life exemplifies Contemporary Realism through its precise and lifelike representation of everyday objects.
