The Good Fruit of the Earth is a painting created by the Cypriot painter Loukia Nicolaidou between the years 1933 - 1936.
Description
The painting, oil on canvas, has dimensions of 188 cm. X 140 cm [1] and is exhibited at the State Gallery of Contemporary Cypriot Art. [1]
Analysis
The painting was made by Lucia Nicolaidou-Vasiliou, the first woman from Cyprus to study painting abroad, [2] particularly in France. In this canvas she demonstrates the obvious influence of Paul Gauguin as shown in the areas of the forms, the theme and the symbolism. [1] The painting stands out for its large color surfaces and for the female figures mother and daughter, symbolizing the quest for innocence, while exuding a sense of sensuality absent from the corresponding women depicted in the works of other Cypriot artists of that period.
