Nathan Altman (1889–1970) Still Life with Bottle and Glass by the Fireplace, ca. 1950 - A rare still life executed in Nathan Altman’s late Cubist style, characterized by geometric segmentation and bold contrasts. The composition features abstracted vessels—bottle, glass, and pitcher—set against a decorative structure reminiscent of a fireplace or a patterned screen. This work belongs to the artist’s mature period, merging his avant-garde sensibility with formal precision. The confirmed provenance — direct acquisition from the artist by the Miller family (Paris) for the Uziel estate — enhances both the historical and collectible value of the piece.
