Art & Design 2day celebrates the fusion of historical artistry with contemporary design aesthetics. In this issue, we spotlight Preston Dickinson’s Still Life (ca. 1924), a modernist masterpiece that transforms everyday objects into dynamic compositions of form and color. Known for his bold use of geometric abstraction, Dickinson’s Still Life reflects the shifting cultural and industrial landscapes of the early 20th century, presenting a vision of ordinary objects as artistic expressions of modernity. This artwork exemplifies how even the simplest subjects can inspire innovative design.
Preston Dickinson (1891–1930), a pioneer of Precisionism, created Still Life during a time when modernist movements were reshaping art’s relationship with industrialization and abstraction. Rendered in oil on canvas, this work features a striking arrangement of fruit, bottles, and tableware, depicted with clean lines and vibrant colors. Dickinson’s unique approach combines the structured aesthetic of Cubism with a distinct American perspective, celebrating the geometry of everyday objects. Housed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Still Life is a testament to Dickinson’s ability to find beauty in industrialized simplicity, capturing the energy of the modern world through meticulous design.
Inspired by Preston Dickinson’s Still Life, this art-derived collection brings geometric precision and vibrant modernism to functional design. The curated range includes Open Art Editions on paper (unframed), on Paper (framed), on Canvas, on Acrylic panel, on Composite Aluminum, on Decal print, on Acrylic "photo block", on Acrylic Sign On Wooden Support, a Yard Art Sign, and an Art Puzzle. These products transform spaces - be it private jets, 5-star hotels, superyachts, luxury real estate developments, or cruise vessels -into contemporary galleries, seamlessly blending utility with artistic innovation. Each piece embodies Dickinson’s modernist ideals, making everyday items an extension of the artwork’s dynamic geometry.
Integrating art into design breathes new life into everyday objects, infusing them with meaning and sophistication. With Dickinson’s Still Life as inspiration, this collection reimagines functionality through the lens of abstract beauty. Whether enhancing interiors of luxury homes, curated developments, or private spaces such as cruise vessels or jets, these products embody the transformative power of art. They serve not just as decor but as conversation pieces, bridging the gap between historical creativity and modern-day practicality.
