Description
The work "Still Life - 1917 "by María Blanchard is a charming example of the artist's ability to merge the tradition of the still life With modern language, framing it within the context of Cubism. Blanchard, born in 1881 in a family of Spanish and French ancestry, has stood out as one of the few women within the artistic avant -garde of the twentieth century, especially in the Cubist scene, where his work transcends the limitations of their genre and time, exploring the form, light and matter.

The predominant ocher and green not only enhance the materiality of the objects, but also evoke a sense of warmth and closeness, inviting the viewer to feel the essence of what is represented.
