Between 1910 and 1914, the Russian painter and sculptor Vladimir Davidovic Baranov-Rossiné (1888-1942/44) sojourned in Paris and came in touch with the various movements of the French avant-garde. During this time, in which was painted the present still life, he met the artists Robert and Sonia Delaunay. Robert Delaunay is regarded a co-founder of the Fauvism, which propagated a spontaneous application of bold colors and simplified and abstracted forms. As well, the works of the Parisian Cubist painter Albert Gleizes may have inspired Baranov-Rossiné’s painting. Already Rossiné’s early works that have arisen in Russia show expressionist compositions with Fauvist tendencies in combination with cubo-futurist elements so that the Parisian influences can be considered only a development of his style.
