Pineapple on a Plate | Tadeusz Makowski

Pineapple on a Plate (1920) by Tadeusz Makowski (Polish, 1882–1932) is a distinctive modern still life that focuses on the unique texture and form of a pineapple’s top, carefully placed on a simple plate. The composition emphasises shape and pattern over detail, reflecting Makowski’s interest in Cubism and abstraction. Set against a muted background, the work balances simplicity with visual intrigue, capturing the everyday object in a fresh, stylised manner characteristic of early 20th-century Polish modernism.
