Oranges, a frequent object in still life through time and across medium, captured here by @wolfgang_tillmans (1991) and oil painter John F. Francis (circa 1860). Tillmans, an aspiring gardener/astronomer turned artist/photographer captures the orange set between a grapefruit and tomato, rendering the warm end of the color spectrum on a cool dewy morning. Francis, the American trailblazer of the luncheon and desert still life layers thick oil on canvas, picturing a decadent mess — chestnuts, grapes, champagne and plenty of oranges always. ⠀
