{"product_id":"le-acciughe-carlo-carra","title":"Le acciughe - Carlo Carrà","description":"\u003cp\u003eA quiet, contemplative still life by Italian modernist Carlo Carrà, featuring three anchovies and a lemon rendered in a soft, earthy palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarlo Carrà, a central figure in the development of Italian modernism, produced this still life during his mature period. The composition features three anchovies arranged on a surface alongside a single lemon. The work demonstrates the artist's shift away from the earlier, more aggressive dynamism of Futurism toward a quieter, more contemplative approach to form and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarrà employs a muted, earthy palette, relying on soft ochres, pale pinks, and subtle greys to define the space. The brushwork is deliberate and textured, giving the surface a tactile quality that draws attention to the physical presence of the objects. The fish are rendered with a focus on their silvery, reflective scales, while the lemon provides a singular point of colour contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his earlier, more fragmented works, this painting reflects a return to order and a focus on the essential qualities of everyday objects. The arrangement is simple, yet the spatial relationships between the fish and the lemon create a sense of balance. The background is kept minimal, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains fixed on the subject matter. This piece is representative of the artist's interest in the 'metaphysical' quality of mundane items, where the act of observation itself becomes the primary subject of the painting. By stripping away unnecessary detail, Carrà invites a closer inspection of the interplay between light, shadow, and material texture. The work is a study in restraint, showing how a limited selection of objects can convey a sense of stillness and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sunrise-christianso-edvard-weie\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSunrise, Christiansø - Edvard Weie — Edvard Weie\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carlo Carrà","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58876747612495,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58876777136463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58876777169231,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Le-acciughe_Poster_CompositorV1_1790291155445.jpg?v=1790291974","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/le-acciughe-carlo-carra","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
