Green and Brown Cubist Still Life Painting from Brazil, "Refinement II"

In hues of green, teal, lilac, beige, and brown, a table is decorated with a floral vase, bottles, and fish bones on a plate, as live fish float in the adjacent space. Brazilian artist Ruth Martins utilizes a cubist style that plays with form and color to paint this scene that meditates on the nature of life and death.
