About This Work

The still life is one of the oldest genres in Western art — and Burton Morris is exactly the right artist to drag it into the twenty-first century. Fruit Bowl Still Life takes a subject that has occupied painters from Chardin to Cézanne and subjects it to the full Morris treatment: graphic, bold, and radiating the kind of uncomplicated pleasure that is his signature. The fruit bowl becomes an emblem, as immediate and iconic as any of the cultural symbols he has made his own.

Available in light blue, dark blue, and purple — a cooler, more contemplative palette than the primary colours of his other pop-out works, giving this piece a distinct mood within the series. At 4 inches deep, the Masonite gesso board version projects from the wall as a sculptural object, the bowl reaching into the room with the same presence as a piece of ceramic or glass.

Edition & Substrate

The Masonite gesso board version is limited to just 18 sets of 3 — among the rarest editions in the Morris pop-out series. The paper version extends to 45 impressions. Both are silkscreened by hand; the Masonite board mounts directly to the wall without framing as a self-contained sculptural object.
