"Picking Strawberries" is a notable painting by the American artist Maurice Brazil Prendergast, who was an influential figure in the American Post-Impressionist movement. Prendergast, born in 1858 in St. John's, Newfoundland, and later relocating to Boston, Massachusetts, is renowned for his vibrant and colorful depictions of leisurely activities and landscapes. His work often reflects a synthesis of European modernist influences and American sensibilities.

Created around the early 20th century, "Picking Strawberries" exemplifies Prendergast's distinctive style, characterized by a mosaic-like application of color and a keen sense of composition. The painting captures a serene and idyllic scene of individuals engaged in the simple, yet joyful activity of strawberry picking. The figures, rendered in a somewhat abstract manner, are set against a lush, verdant backdrop, with the use of bright, saturated colors that evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility.

Prendergast's technique in "Picking Strawberries" showcases his mastery of watercolor and gouache, mediums he frequently employed to achieve a luminous and textured effect. The painting's composition is marked by a rhythmic arrangement of forms and a harmonious balance of color, reflecting Prendergast's interest in the decorative qualities of painting. His work often drew comparisons to the French Post-Impressionists, particularly Paul Cézanne and Pierre Bonnard, whose influence is evident in Prendergast's approach to form and color.

"Picking Strawberries" is celebrated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its portrayal of a quintessentially American pastime. The painting is part of the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it continues to be appreciated for its contribution to American art and its reflection of early 20th-century cultural themes. Through works like "Picking Strawberries," Maurice Brazil Prendergast has left an enduring legacy in the realm of American Post-Impressionism, capturing moments of everyday beauty with a unique and vibrant artistic vision.
