A Cubist-influenced still life by Roger de La Fresnaye, 'Still Life with Candlestick' features geometric forms and a muted palette, making it a sophisticated addition to any home. This fine art print captures the essence of early 20th-century modernism.
Roger de La Fresnaye's 'Still Life with Candlestick' (1913) is a compelling example of the artist's engagement with Cubism. Though he never fully embraced the movement's radical fragmentation, La Fresnaye incorporated its geometric vocabulary and multiple perspectives into his own distinctive style. This still life presents a collection of objects – books, a mirror, and a candlestick – rendered in simplified, angular forms. The composition is carefully balanced, with a muted palette of browns, greens, and greys creating a sense of understated elegance. The influence of Paul Cézanne, with his emphasis on structure and form, is evident in La Fresnaye's approach. As a fine art print, 'Still Life with Candlestick' brings a touch of early 20th-century avant-garde to any interior. Its subtle colours and geometric shapes make it a versatile addition to a variety of décor styles, from minimalist to traditional. The print's intriguing composition and art-historical significance will spark conversation and add a layer of intellectual depth to your living space. It's a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate the beauty of modern art and its ability to transform the everyday.

Roger de La Fresnaye
Roger de La Fresnaye, though perhaps less known than his Cubist contemporaries, carved a unique and lyrical path through the early 20th-century art world. Born in France in 1885, his aristocratic background instilled in him a sense of order and refinement that subtly tempered the revolutionary zeal of Cubism. Unlike the fractured chaos sometimes associated with the movement, La Fresnaye's Cubism retained a sense of classical harmony and humanism. He served in the French army during World War I, an experience which deeply affected his artistic output, leading to a period of darker, more introspective works. La Fresnaye's artistic journey began with the influence of the Nabis, but he soon gravitated towards the avant-garde circles of Paris, exhibiting at the Salon des Indépendants and Section d'Or. His most celebrated works, such as "Cuirassier" and "The Conquest of the Air", exemplify his distinctive approach to Cubism. These paintings showcase a masterful balance between geometric abstraction and figurative representation, infused with a gentle, almost pastoral sensibility. He sought not to dissect reality into its constituent parts but to synthesise it into a harmonious whole. Sadly, La Fresnaye's career was cut short by tuberculosis; he died in 1925 at the young age of 40. Despite his relatively brief artistic output, Roger de La Fresnaye left an indelible mark on the history of Cubism. His work offers a compelling counterpoint to the more radical expressions of the movement, reminding us that even within artistic revolution, there is room for grace, elegance, and a distinctly human voice.
