“Fruit Basket” is an artwork by Pierre Bonnard, created in the years 1929-1930. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece is part of the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of still life. Currently, the artwork is held in a private collection.
In the artwork, a woven basket sits filled with vibrant, round fruits, predominantly oranges and yellows, set against a rich, red tablecloth. The fruits appear fresh and vividly colored, typical of Bonnard’s expressive style. Beside the basket, additional objects such as a jug and a smaller vessel add to the composition. The background features blurred hints of foliage and other domestic elements, enhancing the intimate and homely atmosphere. The vivid hues and dynamic brushstrokes create a vivid representation, capturing the quintessence of Post-Impressionist still life.
