Description:
|
|
Using objects that were right at hand in his studio, the artist reinterpreted the vanitas (a still life with overt reminders of mortality, the transience of human life) and its classic components: the mirror, a symbol of the passage of time, reflects nothing, and the oil lamp placed on the table sheds no light. Despite the food restrictions in effect at the end of the war, the cherries in the dish introduce an element of joy and renewed life evocative of the liberation of Paris and the regaining of freedom.
