Andrew Dasburg, Autumn Fruit, 1934
This time we pay homage Andrew Dasburg, an influential artists of his era but somehow lost through the passage of time. Luckily, Pomiculture forgets no artistic pioneer of the ripened ovary persuasion. His 1934 Autumn Fruit makes use of fruit as a device for self expression of personal issues. In this instance, the symbolism is clear. The lone fruit residing directly outside a plate full of other fruit evokes personal feelings of loneliness and inability to fit in. The lonely fruit in question does not appear to be too physically different from any of the others, the difference lies on the inside. Pomiculture is soul. Pomiculture is life.
The students of Renaissance and Modern Art History at the Barstow School want to share their learning, thus they came up with this snappy blog. Here you will find a variety of topics on all things Renaissance and Modern Art, we hope you enjoy it. Any questions, please contact mark.luce at barstowschool dot org.
