Untitled (Aubergines)

1960

"Untitled (Aubergines)" by Inji Efflatoun is an oil painting on artist's board that showcases the Egyptian modernist's interest in still life subjects rendered with bold, expressive brushwork. The work demonstrates Efflatoun's characteristic approach to color and form, transforming the humble aubergine into a study of volume and hue. As a pioneering female artist in the Arab world, Efflatoun used everyday subjects to explore modernist principles while maintaining a connection to her cultural context.
