Abstract
'Still Life (Red and Yellow)' is a captivating combination of Cubism and Abstract art forms. The painting vividly depicts a lemon - a citrus fruit native to northeastern India - incorporating an intriguing interplay of red and yellow hues. The artistic representation of the lemon - a hybrid of citron and bitter orange - brilliantly uses cube-like structures, following the Cubist style. Furthermore, the painting is rendered in oil paint, adding depth and richness to the textures and colors, illustrating the artist's command over both medium and subject matter.
