© The estate of Bernard Meninsky

Meninsky painted still lifes throughout his career, particularly between the 1920s and 1940s. Reflecting his admiration for Cézanne, Meninsky’s still lifes illustrate his concern with the rendering of volume, using light and shade to define the sculptural qualities of the subject. The looser paint handling in this work is most consistent with Meninsky's later work from the mid to late 1940s.
