Created circa 1938 by the pioneering American modernist Edward L. Loper, 'Fruit Slicer' stands as a compelling testament to the Classical Modernism movement. Produced during Loper's involvement with the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era, this work masterfully elevates a utilitarian kitchen implement into a profound study of geometric form, shadow, and architectural balance. Loper's structured abstraction captures the tactile essence of the subject while maintaining a refined, minimalist restraint. To preserve the historical integrity of this composition, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping, ensuring the piece is presented exactly as the artist intended.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
