Still-Life with Three Jars

Remarks:
The Henri de Waroquier ‘White Period’ starts in 1911 for almost a decade. This period is characterized by light colors harmonies, strange landscapes, where horizon is push back away from the frame. Waroquier did also matters of cubisms, and we detect a geometric vein during his ‘White Périod’. At the same time he starts to explore still-life paintings
