Framed Apple Art

While apples have been the muse for artwork deep into our ancient history, some artists prefer to capture the fruit in themes from our more recent history, creating framed vintage apple art. The artist Grace Pullen captures days gone by in her piece “Fruit Stand IV” which can take us back to times when you could pick your own fruit fresh off a tree or buy straight from the roadside. Nancy Overton also takes us back, to a time before cardboard and plastic packaging with her piece “Apple Crate Label”.

More modern pieces capture the fruit in contemporary ways, such as the artist Romero Britto who created an abstract framed apple pop art piece called simply “Apple” that plays with bold outlines, patterns and colour. Jason Johnson similarly uses contemporary methods to capture his subjects, he, however, created a series of photographs titled “Vintage Apples I – IV”.
