Description
This painting features two perfectly rendered mackerel fish, carefully placed on a white plate in the center of the composition. The background is made up of vertical black and white stripes that create a bold and dynamic contrasting effect, highlighting the silvery texture and blueish hues of the fish. The rigid lines of the background contrast with the fluid shapes of the mackerel fish. The artist uses precise brushstrokes to capture the details of the fish's scales and eyes, bringing a sense of striking realism. The absence of superfluous decoration directs the attention to the simplicity and purity of the subject. This work is a striking example of the harmony between realism and abstraction, evoking a serene and meditative mood while emphasizing the raw beauty of nature.
“Two Mackerels on a Plate" oil on linen canvas by Joseph Rethlin
Signed lower left and on the back with the title of the work.
The work is not sold framed.
Presentation
Self-taught painter, with multiple influences; but more particularly influenced by the work of Mané Katz whose Jewishness he shares.
A contemporary artist based in France, Rethlin has recently become active in the art market. A former collector and dealer, he turned to painting later in life.
His work is characterized by a predilection for still lifes, where he often depicts simple objects, fruits (particularly lemons), and fish. The presence of these two motifs, lemons and fish, seems to hold a significant place in his thematic palette. It reflects his taste for familiar and humble subjects that are visually expressive—everyday or natural elements that offer both visual material and a symbolic dimension.
Formally, Rethlin combines realistic representation (the shape of the fish, the texture of the lemons) with a simplification and stylization of the background, to focus the visual attention on the central subject.
