Still life with bread and a black pot - Jean COUTY (1907 -1991)

In this painting by Jean Couty, we see a still life composed of a black pot and a loaf of bread on a table. These objects evoke rural or domestic life. The cauldron, a symbol of the kitchen and home, contrasts with the bread, an essential source of sustenance.

Jean Couty uses an impasto painting technique here, giving texture and substance to the painting's surface. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, lending a certain roughness and tactile intensity. This makes the still life more expressive and alive, moving the work away from a realistic representation into a more interpretative and sensitive universe.

The palette is dominated by dark, earthy tones, particularly in the black cauldron, but also by touches of gray, green and white in the background. The bread, with its golden and brown tones, adds a touch of warmth to this rather cold ensemble.

The artist's aim here is not to detail every aspect of the objects, but rather to convey their essence and symbolic weight.
