Warhol did not create many still lifes, which makes his Space Fruit portfolio all the more special. In this series of screen prints from the 1970s, the artist scattered lemons, oranges, cantaloupes, cherries and other fruits across a flat color surface (one type of fruit per composition). In “Space Fruit: Lemons”, the lemons appear with various degrees of detail – some have textured, almost photographic detail while others are simply yellow blobs – and solid pink and blue areas suggesting shadows. The background is a minty green here, but in another run the background is a candy pink. It is an artificial space, with artificial color, without the stability of a table top surface as per more traditional still life compositions. Warhol’s composition is playful and graphic.

Like traditional art historical still lifes, Lichtenstein uses everyday objects such as a lemon and a glass of water on his table top. What is new is the artist’s approach. Lichtenstein’s art was influenced by commercial advertisements and comic books; he appropriated not only specific images but also the visual presentation of these cheap and quick printing processes using Ben Day Dot stencils. His images use thick black outlines, flat geometric shapes and primary colors to create a new fine art form that melds elements of both high and low art. He is the anti-Abstract Expressionist – his paintings are devoid of emotion and hold no higher meaning. Lichtenstein uses a mirror to further fragment his composition for additional interest.

Weddige was a printmaker who taught and revitalized the medium of lithography in North America and Europe. Born in Canada, Weddige grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He started his artistic career as a painter but soon turned to stone lithography printmaking, which he liked because he felt that this medium made art more accessible to everyone. With printmaking, multiple copies of an artwork would become available to the public at reasonable prices (Weddige typically produced his prints in runs of 300). He often used six to eight stones, and up to twelve different colors, for his lithographic prints. By using multiple stones in his printing process, Weddige was able to layer his compositional elements to create depth and surface detail.

MO Wayne Thiebaud was the G.O.A.T. at capturing the essence of delicious food products. His pies, cakes, ice creams, etc. are luscious and tempting: I can almost smell them! Best of all, zero calories. Thiebaud was a Californian, through and through, and his paintings capture the light and zeitgeist of 20th century living on the West Coast. Considered a Pop artist, Thiebaud’s subject matter is straightforward – like Warhol’s soup cans – but his handling of paint is not the usual Pop Art visual. Thiebaud used thickly applied paint to create painterly versions of delectable meringue pies in “Cut Meringues”. He used color – not quite black and not quite white – to create shadows and dimension and repetition to forge a geometric pattern that looks as good as it undoubtedly tastes. So maybe Thiebaud’s message to us is that when life gives you lemons, whip up some lemon meringue pies!

Pyke Koch is an artist from the Netherlands who admired artists from the past, especially the Dutch Golden Age still life painters and the Italian Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca. He was a self-taught painter whose style has been labeled Magical Realism. He is best known for his street scenes that often incorporate hidden messages and symbols from his personal life. “Magical Realism” art can be described as art that is realistically rendered but with unlikely elements. “Still Life with Lemons” is rather straight-forward, painted in a realistic style but without the mystery elements. Koch painted several still lifes during occupation by the Nazis during World War II. This was because a still life composition was thought by the artists to be less likely to offend (or even catch the attention of) the Nazi regime then in power.

Lempicka became an American citizen in 1945, after having lived in Russia and Paris, but she identified as Polish throughout her life. She has been called the “Queen of Art Deco” for her embodiment – in both her art and in her person – of the glamor and sensuality of the Roaring Twenties, when she lived in Paris. Her figures are easily recognized by their chiseled features, their stylish attire, and their cool personas. Although most known for her portraits, Lempicka also painted still lifes from the 1920s on. “Still Life with Lemon and Plate” is a study of texture, light and simplicity – all created with the artist’s signature smooth touch. The folds of the fabric appear almost architectural, much like the draping of the dresses worn by her portrait models.

A Fox skull painted in an inverted greyscale. There is a lemon in it’s mouth. Two more lemons and some lemon blossoms are in front of it as well.

Painting the fox skull inverted was intirely impulsive, but I’m happy with how the piece turned out.

Picasso painted this still life while defiantly living in Paris during the Nazi occupation. Although the German regime declared him to be a “degenerate” artist, and harassed him as such, Picasso continued to produce art works even though he was banned from exhibiting. Many of his pieces from this time show the stress and pain in his community, with paintings of crying women, skulls and animal carcasses in somber colors. In his “Still Life with Flowers and Lemons”, the artist has used thick, black lines as a compositional structure that lends a certain anxiety to the painting. Lemons at this time were a rare luxury and Picasso included them as a commentary on the food shortages and resulting hunger that afflicted Parisians during occupation. Still, the yellow streaming in through the background window seems to point to a brighter future and hope for a return to normalcy.

Helene Schjerfbeck is having a moment right now with her show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She has been appreciated all along in her native Finland but has not had a wide presence, until now, in the wider art world. A Modernist through and through, Schjerfbeck absorbed the world of the Impressionists while studying in Paris during the 1880s and beyond. She painted a little of everything – portraits, still lifes, history paintings, landscapes – in a realistic plein air style. An illness suffered in 1902 saw her move to a remote location in Finland, where her only access to what was going on in the art world was through magazines that she received from friends. During this enforced solitary time, Schjerfbeck focused on still lifes and landscapes, with a few portraits completed as well. “Lemons in a Wooden Bowl” is beautiful in its simplicity. The bowl contents are painted with stylized color planes, with the yellows melding together only to be differentiated by subtle contrasts in greens, browns and blues. Schjerfbeck worked on this piece for almost ten years until she was satisfied with what she created.

Gorky’s components in “Still Life with Lemons” – two yellow lemons, a glass water glass, a tilted table top, a white napkin - are very similar to Braque’s items in “Lemons” from 1929 that we looked at yesterday, and yet the visual effect is quite different. Gorky painted this still life during a period in which he was greatly influenced by Cézanne and Picasso, as well as Braque. His colors are more varied and cooler than those used by Braque. Gorky’s depth is flatter: everything is broken down into simple planes (I particularly like the super-flat water glass in its own white rectangle). In the 1940s, Gorky went on to become a force in the American Surrealist movement where his abstracted organic forms and dramatic use of color led directly to the Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s. A victim of the Armenian genocide, Gorky fled to Russia and then to the United States in 1920, where he changed his name and adopted a new identity. His art centers around themes of trauma, memory and personal loss, reflecting the trials and tribulations of his tragic life.

Braque initially trained as a house painter and decorator before turning to fine art. After flirting a bit with Fauvism, he met Pablo Picasso in 1909 and, together, he and the Spaniard formed the Cubism movement. Their fragmented geometric forms, multiple perspectives and monochromatic palette became the subgenres of Analytic Cubism and (with brighter colors and less fragmentation) Synthetic Cubism; in the early stages, the work of Braque and Picasso were very similar. Whereas Picasso eventually moved on to experiment with many different styles, Braque stayed true to Cubism for the rest of his career. Braque was seriously wounded as a soldier in World War I and, after returning home post-war, his paintings project a new calmness, a bit more color variations and softer edges. Braque was deeply influenced by the art of Cézanne, who likewise was interested in depicting many different viewpoints at the same time. “Lemons” from 1929 keeps the initial neutral colors of Analytic Cubism but adds the pop of bright yellow and the flash of intense white. The items are no longer broken into multiple sharp fragments. The composition invites quiet contemplation rather than breathless analysis.

Hartley painted craggy landscapes, figural portraits and still lifes in a Modernist style honed by experiences in his native New England and in Europe (especially Germany). His first trip to Europe in 1912 brought him into contact with the German Expressionist artists of the Blaue Reiter group, which intensified his color tones and paint application. “Still Life with Lemons (Fruit and Tumbler)” is a good example of his style: rich, bold color plus thick, dark outlines and skewed perspective. The tilted composition reminds me of Cézanne’s still lifes, with items appearing to be imminently rolling off the tabletop. The arrangement is simple with three lemons, one orange, one plain plate, one tall glass, and a blue cloth on a red table. The shadows are suggestions, the hues are gorgeously deep. Like his landscapes of coastal Maine and Massachusetts, this still life is rugged and rough-hewn.

Gerald Murphy was active as an artist for only a short period of time; only seven of his oil paintings are around today. Too bad, because his style was an intriguing mix of Cubism and Precisionism that is smooth and pleasing to the eye. The wealthy American set out for Paris in 1921, where he and his wife became glamorous ex-pats during the height of the Jazz Age. Gerald and his wife Sara hobnobbed with a who’s-who of famous artists and writers in Paris, including Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Cole Porter, Le Corbusier and John Dos Passos. The Murphys were rich, sophisticated, stylish and beautiful. Their parties were lavish and legendary – so much so that their friend F. Scott Fitzgerald used them as source material (along with his own experiences with his wife Zelda) for his Nicole and Dick Diver characters in “Tender is the Night”. When he arrived in Paris, Gerald decided that he wanted to become an artist and took lessons with Natalia Goncharova. “Cocktail” is partially autobiographical, using his memories of his father’s bar set-up to create a typical cocktail tray of the 1920s. Alas, the stock market crash ended the Murphys’ sojourn in France and they were forced to return stateside to rescue the family business (the leather goods company Mark Cross). This move was followed shortly by the tragic deaths of their two young sons, and Gerald never returned to his art.
