Oil on canvas still life in an interior, Cubist, produced in Spain by École espagnole (XX) in 1970–1980; 48 × 58 cm; signed; original edition; sold with frame.
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas depicting a carefully arranged still life indoors, composed with notable balance and chromatic sensitivity. The scene centers on a table covered with a light cloth, on which a variety of everyday elements are arranged: a vase with flowers in vivid colors, a fruit bowl with pieces of fruit, a plate with food, a glass jug, and small objects that enrich the composition.
The work stands out for its loose and expressive painting approach, with visible, impasto brushwork on the flowers and foods, contrasting with more veiled backgrounds that add depth and atmosphere. The palette combines deep greens, luminous whites, and warm accents in reds, ochers, and yellows, achieving a harmonious and highly decorative composition.
The overall piece recalls the modern tradition of European still life, where interest focuses as much on color and matter as on the formal arrangement of objects. The execution reveals an experienced hand, with good control of volume, light, and tonal relationships.
A particularly attractive work for collectors of 20th-century figurative painting and for those seeking an elegant and timeless piece, ideal for both private collections and furnishing classic or contemporary interiors.
