This mid-century still life by Nicolai Isaiev (1891–1977) showcases the artist’s characteristic fusion of Cubist influence and decorative expressionism of the School of Paris style. Executed in oil on canvas attached to a board, the composition features a vibrant, impasto-heavy arrangement of organic forms, depicting a collection of fruit and vessels rendered in bold greens, reds, and ochres, set against a dark, textured background that emphasizes the sculptural quality of the paint. Signed "ISSAIEV" in the lower left. Born in Odessa and a prominent figure of the School of Paris, Isaiev's work in this period reflects his transition toward a freer, more stylized figurative manner following his extensive travels through Europe. This piece is a quintessential example of the Russian-French avant-garde, presented in a deeply carved, period-appropriate gilt frame. School of Paris, Modernist, Avant-Garde, Ukrainian Artist, Impasto, Mid-Century Modern, Cubism, Post-Impressionism, Odessa, Decorative Art.
