A Picasso still life:
Fruit Dish With Fruit and Vase With Flowers (1939).
"Picasso explores a romatic timbre as colors leap from the canvass and the china images adopt a loose lyrical form, defined and held in place by the blue lines of the china's patterning. The profusion of colour from the cherries is almost Pointillist, as layers of varying shades of red pigment are exquisitely dotted on the canvas. It is the simplistic but cheery as bright objects crowd the canvas and fill the space with their offerings."
" "Again a Matisse- like patterning device, the green-blue checked table cloth, is employed to counterbalance and rhythmic motion of forms."
Essential Picasso by Laura Payne.
Cat and the Bird, in the Paris museum.
1939.
"Here the large ,heavy scratched in white striations make the figure leap out of the canvas in a ghostly format, exuding, in this moment of stillness while reading some spiritual presence.
The series of Picasso's 1930's usually featured Marie-Therese, and his model;
Woman in the Red Hat 1934, "cartoonseque feet", like the Woman Reading, 1939.

They were inventive. He looked at things and saw a different angle on them. They were inspirational and in a style that no one can mistake.
Impress your teacher by telling her/him that they were called "nature morte" which I am sure I don't need to translate

It was a man smoking cigarette, and he gave the title of it as:
"the taste of happiness"
I guess he was a smoker himself.
