Pablo Picasso - Nature morte

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Nature morte signed and dated 'Picasso 25. Av. 37.' (centre right) oil on canvas 15 x 24 1/8 in. (38 x 61.1 cm.) Painted on 25 April 1937  There is an intensely poetic atmosphere to Nature morte, painted in 1937. Stars are glowing in the night sky, while the foreground is dominated by the accoutrements and accessories of a leisured and contemplative evening. Pipe and book lie alongside a drink and a candelabra, hinting at the passing of an evening of solitary pleasures, both of the mind and of the body. The lyricism of the scene is heightened by the swirling curlicues of the balcony in the background, as though this evening were being spent in the countryside, rather than in Paris. As though it was the Eighteenth Century and a time of peace, rather than a metropolis, with the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. While there is undoubtedly an air of whimsy to Nature morte, the picture - both in terms of composition and content - also reveals

Marc Chagall (1887-1985) Les mariés de la Tour Eiffel signed 'Marc Chagall' (lower left) oil on canvas 35 x 45 7/8 in. (88.9 x 116.6 cm.) Painted in 1928  Les mariés de la Tour Eiffel is one of Marc Chagall’s most romantic paintings of the 1920s, celebrating the love between the artist and his wife, Bella, as they entered a new phase of security and contentment in their lives. Painted in 1928, the work features a double portrait of the couple as they tenderly embrace one another in the shadow of the iconic Eiffel Tower. An angelic figure bearing the features of their daughter, Ida, floats through an open window to their left, arm outstretched as she delivers an offering of a bouquet of flowers to the pair. Around the figures, a panoramic view of Paris reveals the gaiety of the city in the 1920s, with detailed representations of circus performers, lovers strolling through the city, and tiny cars featured against a vibrant vermillion ground. Above this scene, two youthf
