Art & Design 2day presents Earl Horter’s Still Life (1939), a Modernist work steeped in abstraction and meticulous composition. This artwork, housed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., highlights Horter’s skill in transforming everyday objects into profound artistic statements. The clean geometry and restrained color palette resonate with timeless sophistication, making this piece a landmark in American Modernism.

Earl Horter’s Still Life (1939), created in oil on canvas, measures 60 x 76 cm. It reflects Horter’s fascination with Cubist and Modernist aesthetics, evident in the precise arrangement of forms and muted, harmonious tones. This painting resides in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., serving as a symbol of America’s embrace of early 20th-century artistic innovation.
#HorterStillLife #SmithsonianArt #CubistInfluence #ModernistElegance
Horter’s Still Life inspires a Stationary collection that celebrates clean lines and geometric sophistication. Featured products include a Desk Mat, LED Gaming Mouse Pad, Spiral Journal, and 2025 Wall Calendar.
