This beautiful still life by Tamara de Lempicka was painted in 1941 when the artist was living in Los Angeles. At this time, she was fully dedicating herself to the still life genre, not only showing off her veneration and knowledge for the Old Masters, but inserting herself into this tradition. She manipulated their techniques and motifs to create a distinctly modern and glamorous style of painting, always with a hint of surrealism. ‘Plante Grasse et Fiole’ is an outstanding example of the artist subverting the genre, using symbols such as a glass vase in the foreground, which featured prominently in the vanitas scenes popularized during the Dutch Golden Age. As if these symbols were not enough to cement her connection to the Old Masters, Lempicka pins a reproduction of a Rubens portrait of his brother in the background. While the painting seems harmonious and resolved upon first glance, the scene is precariously balanced and laden with tension.
