About Fruit on a Tablecloth with a Fruitdish

Georges Braque created the painting “Fruit on a Tablecloth with a Fruitdish” in 1925. The artwork shows a flattened table display that replicates textures of wood and marble, with shades of fruit painted across it. The painting is categorized under both cubism and expressionism genres, depicting the artist’s unique style.

The subject matter commemorates a banquet held in Braque’s honor upon his return from war, where different varieties of fruits decorated the table. The painting forms part of Centre Georges Pompidou’s collections in Paris and represents only one among Braque’s extensive body of work that involves collages and sculptures.

Braque was known to use still life as his primary genre for his artistic pieces, with “Fruit on a Tablecloth with a Fruitdish” being one of many similar works created by him. His inspiration is derived mainly from Cézanne’s paintings but also included contemporary movements at that time, making this work an essential depiction of art history.
