The artwork entitled “Still Life with Grapes” by Tamara de Lempicka, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Art Deco movement and falls within the still life genre.
The artwork features a meticulously arranged composition that exemplifies the Art Deco style, capturing the elegance and modernity associated with the movement. Central to the piece is a detailed presentation of grapes, both dark purple and light green, which are brought to life through Lempicka’s precise brushwork and subtle shading. The grapes are placed on a white plate with a red rim, which appears to be set on a reflective surface, adding depth to the composition. In the background, a metallurgic mortar and pestle, as well as a sleek, elongated carafe, are positioned gracefully, further enhancing the sophisticated aura of the scene. The colors are muted yet harmonious, with an emphasis on soft pastels that promote a tranquil and balanced atmosphere. Through this still life, Lempicka not only demonstrates her technical prowess but also her ability to infuse ordinary objects with a sense of timeless elegance and refined aesthetic.
