A striking, monochromatic still life rendered entirely in cool tones of azure, teal, and pale ice blue. The composition features a collection of vases and pitchers that have been completely flattened into interlocking, faceted planes of color. Scharl utilizes thick, heavy black outlines to bind the fragmented shapes together, extending the geometric grid into the background itself. Dated 1953, this piece demonstrates a strong Cubist influence, where the traditional representation of three-dimensional objects is discarded in favor of a rigid, highly architectural exploration of form and limited color.
