Still Life with Lacquer Screen
This conversation is connected to Still Life with Lacquer Screen.
A complex still life set against a dark, dramatic background. In the foreground, a corner of a bright green table holds a deep blue pitcher filled with two stylized anemones—one pink, one vivid orange—alongside a simple pink bowl. To the right, a partially visible red chair is draped with a purple textile patterned with pale yellow botanical shapes. Behind the table, a black and gold lacquer screen depicts stylized, running figures holding spears. F.C.B. Cadell, a leading figure of the Scottish Colourists, frequently incorporated elegant props and screens into his studio compositions, relying on sharp, graphic outlines and highly saturated, flat colors to build an elegant, almost theatrical space.
