The artwork titled “Still Life with Rose” was crafted by renowned artist Joan Miró in the year 1916. This work, rendered in oil on cardboard, measures 77 by 74 centimeters and exemplifies Miró’s engagement with the Cubism and Fauvism art movements of the time. The piece is categorized as a still life and currently resides in a private collection, inaccessible to the public eye.
The artwork depicts a still life arrangement that incorporates what appears to be a table setting with various objects. At the center, there is a prominent rose, its pink and red hues standing out against the dominant green tones of the composition, which may suggest foliage or fabric beneath. A bottle suggests the presence of a beverage, contributing to the traditional elements often found in still life compositions. The use of bright, bold colors and the simplification of forms are indicative of the Fauvist influence, while the fragmentation of objects and the planar reorganization of space are characteristic of the Cubist approach. The piece combines these two movements to capture both the vitality of color and the innovative exploration of form and perspective.
