    Still life with apples and bananas (1905)

    Paula Modersohn-Becker (German, 1876–1907)

    Thick brushstrokes carve out apples and bananas on a muted table. The fruit feels heavy, almost tangible—their weight pressing against the canvas. Shadows pool beneath them, deepening the quiet tension between ripeness and decay. No flourish, just raw presence. A simple arrangement that hums with quiet intensity.
