Frame (optional)
In Still life with coffee pot and fruits, Youla Chapoval offers a modern and structured interpretation of a classic theme.
Everyday objects – a coffee pot, fruits, a bowl – are depicted with a keen sense of composition and a geometry inspired by cubism. The forms interlock, respond to each other, and balance, while the palette, made of ochres, grays, and muted blues, gives the whole a sober yet warm atmosphere.
Chapoval transforms this familiar scene into a pictorial meditation on form and light, where each object seems invested with a silent, almost spiritual presence.
This painting illustrates the transition between figuration and abstraction in post-war French painting. Behind the apparent simplicity lies a profound search for harmony and visual rhythm.
Youla Chapoval: a talent cut short too soon
Youla Chapoval (1919–1951), Ukrainian-born painter naturalized as French, was part of the post-war generation that revitalized modern painting.
Based in Paris, he frequented the Montparnasse artistic circles after 1945 and quickly exhibited alongside major artists like Nicolas de Staël or Bazaine.
Its work, of great intensity, blends plastic rigor and poetic sensitivity. Although he died at only 32, Chapoval left a significant mark in the history of French abstract and lyrical painting.
