Still Life with Tea Kettle and Fruit

This page presents "Still Life with Tea Kettle and Fruit", created by William Merritt Chase. The catalogue places it in Still Life. The format is square. Background on Still Life: Later artists, including Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso, used humble still-life subjects to test ideas about space and form. Still life, the arrangement of flowers, fruit, tableware, and other objects, became a distinct genre in the Netherlands and Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

"Still Life with Tea Kettle and Fruit" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A square format is flexible and works well on its own or as part of a grid on a gallery wall. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.

American, 1849–1916
