{"product_id":"naive-gouache-still-life-with-vessels","title":"Naive Gouache Still Life with Vessels","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eA wonderfully cheerful naive still life, painted in gouache and arranged around a loose gathering of bottles, jugs and vessels. It’s a familiar still-life subject handled with absolutely none of the solemnity.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a distant nod to \u003cstrong\u003eMorandi\u003c\/strong\u003e in the simple assembly of everyday vessels, although here his famously restrained palette has been thoroughly abandoned. Turquoise, powder blue, lilac, pink, ochre and an unexpectedly sharp flash of green jostle against one another, with the forms picked out in wonderfully wobbly, dark drawn lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting has that particularly appealing quality found in good naive work: perspective is largely beside the point. Shapes overlap, edges wander and objects are flattened into areas of colour. The result feels somewhere between still life and abstraction, with an easy, instinctive quality that gives it plenty of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNicely presented behind glass with a deep blue-grey mount and simple pale timber frame. At \u003cstrong\u003e71 × 63 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, it’s also a very useful size — substantial enough to hold its own but compact enough to fill that awkward bit of wall that has been bothering you for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJolly, colourful and pleasingly unprecious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition. The painting presents well, with the minor marks and irregularities expected of an original work of this nature. The frame has some light age-related wear.
