"Still Life with Apples" by Max Weber, 1950. Oil on canvas. By 1920, Weber had moved away from abstraction and his painting became more contemplative and poetic. Here, he explores a simple tabletop arrangement dominated by an elaborate silver teapot, its curved surface seemingly reflecting aspects of its surroundings. On either side, brightly colored pieces of fruit are nestled among assorted semi-abstract shapes suggesting tableware.
