Label TextSix pears are seen resting on leaves. The pears have dark rich shading with some crosshatching, more noticeable in darker areas. Heckman used shading to represent a wood grain surface. He utilizes a circular composition; the viewer's eye is lead around the fruit by the repetition of round shapes and curved leaves. Also see Minnetta Good's still life's in this exhibition.
Heckman was born in Meadville, Pennsylvania in 1893. He studied at the Leipzig Institute of Graphic Art and Columbia University. He lived in New York City and spent his summers in Woodstock, New York.
