about Still Life with Bread and Basket

Perched precariously on a jagged table, the still life arrangement is rendered in a Cubistic manner by the avant garde artist Benjamin Benno.

Accompanied by layered patterns of cross-hatched lines, the various surfaces of the objects within the still life appear to have contrasting textures that add depth and complexity to the already dynamic work.
