Still Life with Glass of Red Wine

Still Life with Glass of Red Wine (1921):


by Amédée Ozenfant, who was a Cubist painter and co-founder of the Purist movement. He died on May 4th in 1966 at 80 years of age. The Guggenheim has a short bio, as do Britannica and The Met Museum. The Tate has some information on Purism. WikiArt has photos of 16 of his works.

Please share a drink-related post in the weekly T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth.

  4. I've not heard of this artist, but I adore his work. When I think of Cubism, I think about Picasso. But his art is jagged and definitely cubed. Although this is called Purism, I can see how it evolved from the Cubism movement. And when I first saw the little icon on my sidebar, I thought Cubism, too. I enjoyed reading about the Purism principles and really adore his art. In fact, I like it much better than Picasso's Cubisms.

    Thank you beyond belief for sharing this lovely painting by Amédée Ozenfant (and links to his other art) with us for T this Tuesday.

  9. What a wonderful painting. I had not heard of this artist and enjoyed reading about him and his work when I looked him up. Interestingly he was French, then became a US citizen after moving there, but re-naturalized French towards the end of his life.
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca
