Maria Blanchard, a seminal figure in the Spanish art panorama of the twentieth century, managed to consolidate as one of the most relevant representatives of Cubism, a current that absorbed and reinterpreted the legacy of European art through a personal and unmistakable prism. His work "Still Life - 1918 "It is, without a doubt, an eloquent manifestation of its mastery in translation of everyday objects into a visual language where the shape, color and composition interact deeply.
The painting shows a set of carefully arranged elements, where the use of a neutral background enhances the objects that come alive on its surface. The dark and terrible tones predominate in the work, which gives it an atmosphere of intimacy and reflection. This chromatic team, which ranges from gray, ocher and brown, is not only limited to the palette, but also establishes a subtle dialogue with the lights and shadows that sculpt the volumes, creating an almost sculptural representation of the present objects.

Each object, from fruits to utensils, is presented through a decomposed and restructured approach that defies the traditional notions of representation.
