拍品專文

The artist called this still life "one of my best paintings." (letter from L. Lucioni to Richard T. York, 3 March 1987, unpublished) Indeed, it was mentioned in three reviews of Lucioni's 1943 exhibition. The New York Sun wrote that "perhaps his still-life subjects are the most appealing and the most triumphantly accomplished in preparation: such, for instance, as Blue and Ivory, Flower Patterns, [and] Bread and Fruit."
