The artwork titled “Apple” is attributed to the artist Pablo Picasso, dating back to 1914. This piece, composed using pencil on paper, adheres to the Realism art movement, specifically occupying the genre of still life. The artwork presents itself as a delineation of an apple, captured with attention to realism and detail.
Upon examining the artwork, one observes the subtle shading and textural details that give the apple a three-dimensional appearance on the two-dimensional paper. The use of light and shadow is expertly manipulated to suggest volume and curvature of the fruit. The apple rests within a clearly defined space, bordered by what appears to be a geometric shadow or perhaps part of another object, contributing to a sense of depth and context within the composition. The realistic treatment of the subject stands in contrast to Picasso’s more widely recognized cubist and surrealistic styles, showcasing his versatility and mastery over different artistic approaches.
