Annotation
The meticulously painted still life contains characteristics of natural primitivism, as evidenced by the heightened attention to detail. In addition, as explained by Lyubov Vakar ("Toward a Problem of Primitivism in the Work of Yehuda Pen and Marc Chagall." Shagalovskiy Sbornik. Vitebsk, 1996, 64 75), the tendency towards the primitivisation of visual language was a feature of Yehuda Pen's school and the Vitebsk school as a whole, fitting into the general post-revolutionary trend and an era of new artistic thinking.
