The artwork titled “Bread with Egg” was created by artist Jeff Koons between 1995 and 1997, using oil as the medium. This piece is associated with the Neo-Pop Art and Hyper-Realism movements and falls within the still life genre.
In the artwork, a meticulously rendered bread with an egg at its center is depicted, presented in an extraordinarily realistic manner. The surface of the bread gleams with a rich golden-brown texture, and the egg, placed centrally, is painted with a strikingly smooth pink hue. The detailed reflections and contours of the bread stand in contrast to the smoothness of the egg, which is embedded within the dough. The backdrop appears to be a glossy, reflective surface, contributing to the hyper-realistic quality of the piece. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail typifies the Neo-Pop Art movement, reflecting ordinary objects in an exaggerated, larger-than-life manner.
