About Pears, Peaches, and Pitcher

The artwork, “Pears, Peaches, and Pitcher” by Arshile Gorky, created in the years 1926 to 1927, is an oil painting on canvas exemplifying the Post-Impressionism movement. It is a still life genre piece with dimensions measuring 44 by 59.5 centimeters and is presently housed in a private collection.

The painting displays a serene arrangement of fruits and a pitcher. The composition centers around a white plate atop a rustic table, adorned with a selection of pears, peaches, and apples, embodying the classic elements of still life. The muted palette and subtle brushstrokes evoke a sense of simplicity and elegance, characteristic of the Post-Impressionist style. The background provides a soft, unobtrusive blend of colors, which enhances the focus on the central objects, allowing the viewer to appreciate their forms and textures. The pitcher, standing tall in the background, adds a vertical element to the composition, balancing the horizontal spread of the fruits. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of shapes and hues, capturing a moment of quietude and domesticity.
