Still Life on a Blue Background | Tadeusz Makowski

Martwa natura na niebieskim tle (Still Life on a Blue Background, 1920) by Tadeusz Makowski (Polish, 1882–1932) is a striking modern composition that reflects the artist’s evolving Cubist-inspired style. Featuring an arrangement of fruit and simple dishware set against a vivid blue background, the painting emphasizes bold shapes, structured forms, and a rhythmic sense of order. Makowski’s use of flattened space and rich, contrasting colours lends the still life a decorative yet contemplative quality. This work showcases his signature blend of modernism and poetic restraint.
