Here a single red and yellow apple rests on a green cloth with a patterned surface, a pairing that turns a humble fruit into a quiet study in color and texture. Still lifes of fruit on draped fabric were a staple of American painting and printmaking for generations, prized for letting the artist show off the glow of skin against the busy rhythm of a textile. The contrast between the warm apple and the cool green ground is what gives this image its punch. It is worth looking closely at how the pattern on the cloth competes with the simple, rounded form of the fruit.
