Still Life with Fruits 

Kmetty János painted Still Life with Fruits using oil paint sometime during the 20th century. János, a Hungarian painter and art theorist, moved through impressionism, expressionism and cubism throughout his career. During the early 20th century in Europe, traditional hierarchies were questioned and artists explored new ways of seeing and representing the world. What does it mean to represent everyday objects in an alternative way? "Still Life with Fruits" uses vibrant colors and abstracted forms to capture the essence of the objects rather than their exact appearance. We see this through the variety of apples, and the striped cloth it sits upon. János asks us to consider the beauty that can be found in the mundane. This challenges traditional representations of still life and invites viewers to contemplate the deeper meaning and significance of everyday objects.
