Created in 1986, Still Life with Shoe and Rooster (Braque) brings together plaster, wood, acrylic paint, plastic, and leather in a tabletop assemblage that operates somewhere between sculpture and painted homage. The work is characteristic of Segal's mature practice, in which ordinary objects are elevated through a deliberate, almost devotional attention to surface and arrangement. Here, the inclusion of the rooster and the worn leather shoe alongside the muted, chalky plaster finish invites an unmistakable dialogue with the formal language of Cubism, particularly the still life tradition George Braque refined over decades. Segal translates that flat pictorial vocabulary into three-dimensional space, collapsing the distinction between painting and object-making in a way that feels both intellectually rigorous and quietly domestic. At 132 by 92 by nearly 70 centimeters, the work commands physical presence without overwhelming the room, making it well-suited to a considered private collection where it can be encountered up close. The acrylic paint applied to the plaster surfaces introduces color in a restrained, atmospheric manner, echoing the muted ochres and grays favored by the Cubist painters Segal is clearly in conversation with. This is not pastiche but a sustained critical reflection, a sculptor using the grammar of still life to ask what objects reveal about time, use, and memory. Signed by the artist and currently available through Broadway 1602, this work represents a sophisticated and historically resonant example of Segal's expanded thinking about the relationship between American sculpture and the European modernist canon.
