Description

This painting features three vibrant lemons set against a vibrant background divided horizontally into two distinct colors: an intense red at the bottom and a calming sky blue at the top. The lemons, a vibrant yellow, are beautifully textured, evoking freshness and vitality. A green leaf accentuates the composition, adding contrast and movement. The bold use of primary colors creates a striking visual effect, while the balance between the warm and cool background energizes the work. The apparent simplicity of the subject belies a complexity of interpretation where the juxtaposition of colors and shapes invites reflection. The artist has mastered the art of modern minimalism, conveying a timeless aesthetic and a powerful message through the purity of lines and hues. This painting captures attention with its elegance and skill in transforming a still life into a captivating work of art.

Joseph Rethlin, 3 citrons
France  • 1957

Presentation

Joseph Rethlin is a contemporary French painter specializing in contemporary still-life art. 

An art collector and dealer, he also worked as a jewelry photographer before dedicating himself to painting. This experience with imagery shaped his approach to composition, light, and texture. After years of observing and collecting paintings, he chose to engage with the canvas himself. 

His work centers primarily on fish, lemons, flowers, and everyday objects. In these simple subjects, he seeks a pictorial presence grounded in light, color, and the balance of forms. 

His paintings favor clean, uncluttered compositions. The forms remain distinct, while the backgrounds are deliberately simplified to focus the viewer's gaze on the subject. Balancing realism with minimalism, Joseph Rethlin explores how ordinary objects can be transformed through painting into true subjects in their own right.
