Painting "Oranges and grapes" signed Antoinette Cleper

Oil on canvas, still life with cubist volumes magnifying a range of beautiful strong and contrasting colors rich in material. This painting is very representative of the still lifes executed by fernand léger and souverbie in the first part of the 20th century. Antoinette cleper worked for 2 years with fernand léger, acquiring this mastery of volumes and period cubist compositions. His presence in the workshop of jean souverbie (1891/1981) for 4 years could explain his taste for strong and sought-after colors, for the contained sensuality of forms close to the nabi movement. The signed canvas is in good condition, stretched on its original frame. A label on the back mentions “antoinette cleper 5 avenue rodin paris 16th salon des independents 1977.
