Michel Kikoïne travelled with Chaim Soutine by train from Vilnius to Paris, where they lived and worked in the La Ruche artists' colony. Together with other Lithuanian immigrants, they provided an important, new impetus to the group later known as the School of Paris. They absorbed all of the influences there, combining them with their own experiences.
He married in 1914 and that same year, with the outbreak of World War I, he volunteered to serve France as a soldier. Although Kikoïne certainly knew the radical, newly developed styles of Picasso, Braque and Gris, such as Cubism, he chose to develop his own form of figurative expression. Thus, the present still life presents similar objects found in Cubist still lifes, such as the flowers, documents and mandolin.
The work was formerly part of the important collection of Oscar Ghez. One key focus for Ghez in forming his collection was on works by Jewish artists who were victims of World War II and initially forgotten. He was co-founder of the Musée du Petit Palais in Geneva, where the present work has been exhibited twice.
