More about this artwork

"Nature morte aux fruits" by Emile Bernard is a captivating exploration of color and texture through the classic subject of still life. This painting, dating from around 1920, showcases a sumptuously arranged selection of fruits, featuring pears, grapes, a fig, and an orange, all resting on a pink draped fabric. The rich hues of the fruits emerge vibrantly, from the deep purples and blues of the grapes to the warm, sunlit yellows and reds of the pears.Bernard's brushwork enhances the tactile qualities of each piece of fruit, giving a sense of their distinct textures, from the smoothness of the orange’s peel to the fine details on the grape's skin. Set against a dark background and a subtle decorative element that hint at a domestic scene, the composition focuses attention on the striking simplicity and natural beauty of the fruit.This artwork not only reflects Bernard's mastery of still life but also speaks to his broader artistic contributions during the post-impressionist period, emphasizing form and color over realism.

Émile Henri Bernard (28 April 1868 – 16 April 1941) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and writer, who had artistic friendships with Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Eugène Boch, and at a later time, Paul Cézanne. Most of his notable work was accomplished at a young age, in the years 1886 through 1897. He is also associated with Cloisonnism and Synthetism, two late 19th-century art movements. Less known is Bernard's literary work, comprising plays, poetry, and art criticism as well as art historical statements that contain first-hand information on the crucial period of modern art to which Bernard had contributed.
