The artwork named “Bizarre Oranges & Lemons Ashtray” is a creation by Clarice Cliff, an artist associated with the Art Deco movement. This piece falls under the genre of utensil design. The artwork’s functional form as an ashtray is complemented by its decorative appeal, showcasing the characteristic vibrancy and geometric patterns distinctive to the Art Deco style.
The ashtray is crafted in a circular shape with a predominant orange hue around its rim. The center features a bold, abstract design depicting segments of oranges and lemons, highlighted in vibrant shades of yellow and red, juxtaposed with black geometric motifs. The use of bright, contrasting colors and the incorporation of abstract forms emphasize the modernist sensibilities and creative flair typical of Clarice Cliff’s work within the Art Deco movement.
