Still Life with Biscuits

미술관의 설명

The white geometric shape in the center of this painting represents a compote (a bowl with a base and stem) upon which three green fruits are arranged. To the right is a plate of long, wafer-thin biscuits that could be langues-de-chat (French for “cats’ tongues”), named for their shape. This painting is among the last of the artist’s forays into the style of Synthetic Cubism in which lively colors and large, geometric shapes were used to depict recognizable objects. Picasso created a wide variety of textures and patterns in this still life. The off-white paint used to represent the biscuits was applied like cake frosting in smooth, thick strokes, probably with a palette knife.
