...Still Life with Grapes and Bananas" is a rich tapestry of color and form, that appears tactile, and that toys with depth by distorting perspective. The two largest Braques in the collection are masterworks. The first, a "Still Life with Fruit and Mandolin," overlays lavendar and greys; its design breaks down objects into pattern and builds up pattern just enough to suggest objects.
