About this work

This image shows a strange, angular still life. A glass, a bottle, and a pitcher sit on a table, but they’re broken into sharp, floating shapes. Dark shadows and rough lines make it look like the objects are melting or bending. The artist used a printmaking method to create this effect—you can see the texture of the plate and the way the lines overlap. It’s not a smooth painting; it feels like the objects are being pulled apart. Check out etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints like this.
