# Nature morte à la cruche blanche

By [Henri Clément-Serveau](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/henri-clement-serveau.md>), 1951.

A white pitcher, fruit, and tableware are broken into luminous, interlocking shapes. The bold contours and tilted planes bring Clément-Serveau's late still-life language close to abstraction.
