More about this artwork

The painting depicts a group of green pears loosely arranged on a pale surface, possibly a cloth-covered table. There are seven pears in view, ranging in shape and size, but all generally rounded and plump. The colors of the pears vary slightly, each showing tones of olive and yellow-green, with touches of shadow defining their volumes. Each pear has a distinctly textured skin, and their stems, brown and slightly twisted, project at various angles. One pear, situated at the top, has a particularly elongated, curved stem that draws attention. Beneath the pears, the faint outlines of plates or dishes add a sense of depth and placement, suggesting a domestic setting.

Charles Demuth (1883-1935) was one of the leading artists during the American Modernism era. He was distinguished for intimate watercolors and cubic architectural paintings. Demuth studied art at Académie Julian in Paris, where he was welcomed into the avant-garde art scene and met other American Cubism artists like Marsden Hartley. His watercolor figures have a weightless and surrealistic character with a sensitive linear style, in which he illustrated plays and novels such as Émile Zola's Nana. He also depicted an evolving gay scene of encounters at bath houses through watercolors for his close friends, like the "Turkish Bath", works that now are of great historical significance. Demuth later employed a cubist technique by painting industrial factories with complex structural planes, leading him to becoming a pioneer for the precisionist movement.
