Tom Wesselmann — Still Life with Fruit, Petunias and Claire
Tom Wesselmann

Still Life with Fruit, Petunias and Claire

A vibrant and boldly graphic composition characteristic of Wesselmann's Pop Art sensibility, this work presents an intimate domestic scene rendered in striking, flat colors. The glazed porcelain medium lends the piece a luminous, almost commercial quality, enhancing the crisp outlines and vivid hues of the fruit, flowers, and the female figure of Claire. The gray backing board provides a neutral contrast that draws the eye directly into the dynamic interplay of everyday objects and feminine presence.

Medium
Glazed porcelain mounted to a gray backing board (as issued).
