The Black Clock

1869-71
Oil on canvas, 54 x 73 cm
Private collection

Every object in this painting, with its rhythmic horizontal and vertical construction, forms an integral part of the rigorous structure and yet also exists in its own right. There is a stark contrast between the organic opening of the seashell and the cold marble of the clock.
