Still life of modern French artists. Still life of great masters
On some sign artists who created paintings in the genre of still life.
Introduction
The term "still life" is used to definition of paintings depicting inanimate objects (from Latin "Dead Nature"). Moreover, objects can be like natural origin (fruits, flowers, dead animals and insects, skulls, etc.), as well as created by man (various utensils, watches, books and paper scrolls, jewelry and so on). Often, some hidden subtext, transmitted through a symbolic image, turns into still life. The works of an allegorical nature belong to the Vanitas subgenuary.
Still life as a genre got the greatest development in the Netherlands in the 17th century as a method of protest against the official church and imposing religious art. In the further history of painting the work of the Dutch of that time (Utrekh, Leiden, Delft and others) had a huge impact on the development of art: composition, perspective, the use of symbols as an element of the narration. Despite its importance and interest on the part of the public, according to the Academies of Arts, the still life occupied the last place in the general hierarchy of genres.
Rachel Ruily
Ruisch is one of the most famous Dutch realists and authors of still life. The compositions of this artist contain a mass of symbols, a variety of moral and religious senders. Its corporate identity is a combination of a dark background, a meticulous study of parts, gentle color and an additional, attached, elements (insects, birds, reptiles, crystal VAZ).
Harmen van Stenweyk
The work of this Dutch realist is perfectly demonstrated by the still lifes in the style of Vanitas, illustrating the bustle of earthly life. One of the most famous paintings is the "allegory of the vanity of human life", in which the human skull is shown in the rays of sunlight. Various compositions of the composition refer to the ideas of the inevitability of physical death. The detailing and level of realism of the paintings of the steering is achieved through the use of thin brushes and paint appliances.
Paul Cesanne
Known by its landscapes, portraits and genre works, Cezann contributed to the development of still life. After the interest in impressionism disappeared, the artist began to explore fruits and natural objects, experiment with bulk figures. These studies helped to create a perspective and volume in still lifes not only with the help of classical methods, but also by workshop using color. All the seisanous directions considered were further studied by George Marriage and Picasso in the development of analytical cubism. In pursuit, the goal of creating something "constant", the artist preferred to write the same objects, and an incredibly long process of creating still life led to the fact that fruits and vegetables began to rot and decompose long before the end of the picture.
Hem
David Bayei's student, Dutch realist Jem is known for magnificent still lifes with a large number of parts loaded with compositions, abundance of insects and other ornamental and symbolic elements. Often, the artist used religious motives in the works, like Jan Broygeo and Federico Borromeo.
Jean Batist Shaden
The Son of Carpenter Jean Charred acquired his diligence and craving for the order precisely thanks to his father. Master's paintings are often calm and sober, because he sought to harmony tone, colors and forms, in many respects achieved through work with lighting and contrasts. The desire for cleanliness and order is also expressed in the absence of allegories in compositions.
France Sneders.
The author of still lifes and scenes with animals of the Baroque era was incredibly prolific master, and his ability to portray the texture of the skin, fur, glass, metal and other materials was unsurpassed. Snyders was also an outstanding animal, often depicting dead animals in his still lifes. Later, he becomes the official painter of Ersgertzog Albert Austria, which resulted in creating an even more masterpiece.
Francisco de Surbaran
Surbaran is a well-known director of paintings on a religious topic - is one of the greatest creators of still lifes. Painted in strict Spanish traditions, its work has quality that does not depend on time, and impeccable simplicity. As a rule, they represent a small number of objects on a darkened background.
Conor Walton
Conor Walton deserves attention from modern authors. The contribution of the Irish artist to the development of still life can be clearly seen in the works "Hide: Oranges and Lemons" (2008), "Still Life with Big Orchids" (2004). Works of the wizard are accurate and made with exceptional use of light, helping to pass the texture of various surfaces.

Go to the final stage of this series of posts about the genre of still life. He will be devoted to the work of artists in Russia.
Perhaps, perhaps from Fedor Petrovich Tolstoy (1783-1873). Still life graphics F.P. Tolstoy, famous Russian sculptor, medaler, draftsman and painter, probably the most prominent and valuable part of his creative heritage, although the artist himself said that he created these works "in free from serious time."
The main property of still lifestyle drawings is thick - their illusion. The artist carefully copied nature. He tried, according to his own words, "with strict prisons to transfer a copied flower from nature on paper as it is, with all the slightest details belonging to this flower." In order to introduce a viewer in error, Tolstoy used such illusionist techniques, as an image of dew droplets or translucent paper, covering the drawing and helping to deceive vision.
Ilya Efimofich Repin (1844-1930) also turned to such a motive of still life as flowers. Such works can be attributed to the painting "Autumn Bouquet" (1892, Tretyakovskaya Gallery, Moscow), where the artist with equal attention depicts the autumn landscape, a young woman standing against the background of golden trees, and a modest bouquet of yellow and white flowers in her hands.
I. Repin. Autumn bouquet. Portrait of a rope faith. 1892, Tretyakov Gallery
The history of the painting "Apples and Leaves" is somewhat unusual. Still life, combining fruits and leaves, was set for a student of Repina, V.A. Serov. The subject composition was so much liked by the teacher that he decided to write such a still life himself. Flowers and fruits attracted many artists who preferred from other things precisely these, most poetic and beautifully showing the world of nature. Even I.N. Kramskaya, who was dismissively believed to such a genre, also gave tribute to still life, creating a spectacular picture "Bouquet of flowers. Floxes "(1884, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow).
Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov (1865-1911) is known to most of us as an artist who paid attention to the landscape, portrait and historical painting in his work. However, it should be noted that the subject in his work always played an important role and often occupied the same equal position, as well as other elements of the composition. A little higher, I already mentioned his student work "Apples on the leaves", 1879, held under the leadership of Repin. If we compare this work with the work written on the same topic of the Repin, you can see that Serov's still life is distinguished by more sketching than his teacher's cloth. The novice artist used a low point of view, so the first and second plans are combined, and the background is reduced.
Famous with everyone since childhood, a picture of the "Girl with Peaches" goes beyond the portrait genre and it is not by chance that it is called "Girl with Peaches", and not "Portrait of Mammoth Faith". We can see that the features of the portrait, interior and still life are connected here. The artist pays equal attention to the image of the girl in a pink blouse and a few, but skillfully grouped subjects. On a white tablecloths lie gently yellow peaches, maple leaves and a shiny knife. Lovely discovered and other things that are on the far: chairs, a large porcelain plate, adorning the wall, a figure of a toy soldier, a candlestick on the windowsill. Sunlight, pouring out of the window and leaving the items bright glare, gives the image poetic charm.
Mikhail Alexandrovich Vrubel (1856-1910) wrote: "And again it emphasize me, no, it does not give up, but I am heard by the intimate national note that I so want to catch on canvas and in the ornament. This is a whole man's music, not dissected by distractions of an orderly, differentiated and pale west. "
At the Academy of Arts, the beloved teacher Vrubel was Pavel Chistyakov, who taught the young painter to "draw a form" and argued that the volume forms should not be created in space with tube and contours, they should be built with lines. Thanks to him, Vrubel learned not to just show nature, but as if he had a sincere, almost love conversation with her. In such a spirit, a wonderful still life of the masters "Roshovnik" (1884) was performed.
Against the background of exquisite drapery with floral motifs, the artist posted an elegant rounded vase, painted by the eastern patterns. The gentle white rose rose flower, shadowed with a blue-green cloth, is distinctly distinguished, and the leaves of the plant are almost merged with dim black trees in the vase. This composition is executed by the inexpressible charms and freshness, which the viewer simply cannot but succumb.
During the period of the disease, Vrubel began to write more from nature, and its drawings differ not only by the chanceliness of the shape, but also completely special spirituality. It seems that every movement of the artist's hand gives his suffering and passion.
Especially remarkable in this regard drawing "Still-life. Candlestick, decanter, glass. This is a crushing triumph of violent objectivity. Each subject of still life carries a hidden explosive force. The material from which things are made, be it bronze candlestick, glass decanter or a matte candle gleam, swellingly trembles from the colossal internal voltage. The pulsation is transmitted by the artist with short cross-in-law strokes, because of which the texture acquires explosives and tensions. Thus, items acquire incredible pointedness in which the true essence of things is
.
Large skills in creating still lifes- "sniffs" reached G.N. Heat and T. Ulyanov. Most often, they portrayed a militant wall, on which the knots and bodies of the tree were drawn. On the walls are hung or shut up for nail-nailed ribbons a variety of items: scissors, scallops, letters, books, music notebooks. On narrow shelves, clocks, inks, bottles, candlesticks, dishes and other small things are placed on the narrow shelves. It seems that such a set of objects is completely accidental, but in fact it is not so. Looking at such still lifes, you can guess the interests of artists engaged in musication, reading, fond of art. Masters lovingly and diligently depicted their dear things. These paintings touches their sincerity and the immediacy of the perception of nature.
Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev (1878-1927) also paid a lot of still life in his work. At its cheerful canvases, you can see bright satin fabrics, glittering with copper samovars, the shine of the faience and porcelain red slices of watermelon, grape clusters, apples, appetizing cupcakes. One of his wonderful paintings is "Kupchikha for tea", 1918 is impossible not to admire the bright splendor of the objects shown on the canvas. Sparkling samovar, bright red meat of watermelons, glossy apples and transparent grapes, glass vase with jam, gold-plated sugar bowl and a cup facing, all these things make a festive mood in an image.
In the genre of still life, much attention was paid to the so-called "still lifes-freeze". Many still lifes - "deceptions", despite the fact that their main task was to introduce a viewer for error, possess undoubted artistic merits, especially noticeable in museums, where, woven around the walls, such compositions, of course, cannot deceive the public. But there are exceptions here. For example, "Still Life with Books", performed by P.G. Bogomolov, inserted into the illusory "bookcase", and visitors do not immediately recognize that it is just a picture.
Very good "Still Life with a Parrot" (1737) G.N. Teplova. With the help of clear, clear lines, moving into soft, smooth contours, light, transparent shadows, thin color nuances, the artist shows a variety of objects raised on a boardwall. Woodly transmitted wood, bluish, pink, yellowish shades of which helps to create almost a real feeling of fresh smell just a dotted tree.

Russian still lifes- "deceivers" of the XVIII century show that the artists still not skillfully transmit space and volumes. More importantly, for them to show the texture of objects, as if transferred to canvas from real reality. Unlike the Dutch still lifes, where things absorbed by the light medium are depicted in unity with her, in the paintings of Russian masters, objects discharged very carefully, even petty, live as if by themselves, regardless of the surrounding space.
At the beginning of the XIX century, a great role in the further development of the still life was played by the school A.G. Venetsianova, who spent against strict delimitation of genres and sought to teach his pupils with a holistic vision of nature.
A.G.Vetsianov. Khumno, 1821-23
Venetian School discovered a new genre for Russian art - interior. Artists showed various premises of the noble house: living rooms, bedrooms, cabinets, kitchens, classrooms, human, etc. In these works, an important place was given an image of various items, although the still life itself was almost not interested in representatives of the Venetian circle (in any case, a very little still-life was preserved, performed by students of the famous painter). Nevertheless, Venetsianov called on his pupils to carefully work out not only the faces and figures of people, but also the things around them.
The subject in the painting of Venetsian is not an accessory, it is inextricably linked with the rest of the paintings and is often the key to understanding the image. For example, a similar function is performed by sickle in the picture "Zntsy" (the second half of the 1820s, the Russian Museum, St. Petersburg). Things in Venetsian art seem involved in the unhurried and serene life of characters.
Although Venetcianov, in all likelihood, did not write the actual still lifes, he included this genre into his learning system. The artist wrote: " Inanimate things are not subject to the diverse changes, which are characteristic of objects animated, they stand, keep in front of an inexperienced artist, lively, motionless and give him a time more accurate and intelligently, to penetrate into the relationship of one part to the other as in the lines, so in the light and shadow , koi depend on the site occupied by objects”.
Of course, still life has played a big role in the pedagogical system of the Academy of Arts in the XVIII-XIX centuries (in curriculous classes, pupils made copies from still lifes, Compiled from things such as plaster figures, dishes, candlesticks, multicolored ribbons, fruits and flowers. The objects for training still lifes Venetsian chose so that they are interested in novice painters, are understandable in shape, beautifully in color.
In the paintings created by Talented students of Venetsianov, things were transferred truthfully and fresh. Such are still lifes K. Zelentsova, P.E. Cornilova. There are works in the works of Venetsianovens who are at their essence are not still lifes, but, nevertheless, the role of things in them is enormous. You can call, for example, the cloth "Cabinet in Islands" and "Reflection in the Mirror" G.V. Soroki stored in the meeting of the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.
G.V. Magpie. "Cabinet in islands." Fragment, 1844, Russian Museum, St. Petersburg
Still lifes in these works are not independently, but as a peculiar part of the interior part, corresponding to the general compositional and emotional system of paintings. The main binding element here is the light, gently turning from one item to another. Looking at the canvas, you know how interesting the artist around the world is lovingly depicting every item, every small thing.
Still life presented in the "office in the islands", although it takes a small place in the overall composition, it seems unusually significant, allocated due to the fact that the author burned it from the rest of the high springs of the sofa, and on the left and on the right cropped the frame. It seems that forty so fascinated by the objects lying on the table, which almost forgot about the rest of the paintings. The master carefully wrote everything: goose feather, pencil, circus, transport, perochitelnik, abacus, sheets of paper, candle in a candlestick. The point of view from above allows you to consider all things, none of them light up another. Attributes like a skull, clocks, as well as the symbols of "earth fuss" (figurine, paper, scores), allow some researchers to rank still life to the type of Vanitas, although such a coincidence is purely randomly, most likely a serf artist took advantage of the fact that he lay on the table His owner.
The famous master of subject compositions of the first half of the XIX century was the artist I.F. Khrutsky, who wrote a lot of beautiful paintings in the spirit of the Dutch still life of the XVII century. Among his best works - "Flowers and Fruits" (1836, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow), "Portrait of a wife with flowers and fruits" (1838, Art Museum of Belarus, Minsk), "Still Life" (1839, Museum of the Academy of Arts, St. Petersburg).
In the first half of the XIX century, the "Botanical Still Life", which came to us from Western Europe, was very popular. In France, at this time, the work of botany with beautiful illustrations. Much of fame in many European countries received the artist P.Z. Rabutay, who was considered "the most famous painter of flowers of his time." "Botanical Figure" was a significant phenomenon not only for science, but also for art and culture. Similar drawings were presented as a gift, decorated albums, which thus put them in one row with other works of painting and graphics.
In the second half of the XIX century, a lot of attention was paid to the image of items. Fedotov. Although he did not write the other student, the world of things created by him admires her beauty and truthfulness.
Objects in the works of Fedotov are inseparable from the life of people, they take the most direct participation in the dramatic events depicted by the artist.
Looking at the picture "Fresh Cavalier" ("Morning after Pirushki", 1846), you are amazing an abundance of objects, carefully discharged by the master. A real still-life, surprising by his laconicity, is presented at the famous picture of Fedotov "Watching Major" (1848). Tangible actually transmitted glass: high leg wine glasses, bottle, decanter. The finest and transparent, it seems to make a gentle crystal ringing.
Fedotov P.A. Major walling. 1848-1849. GTG
Fedotov does not separate objects from the interior, so things are shown not only reliably, but also picturesquely thin. Each is the most common or not too attractive item that occupies its place in the overall space seems amazing and beautiful.
Although Fedotov did not write still lifes, he showed an undoubted interest in this genre. The flair suggested to him how to position one or another subject, from what point of view it is to imagine what things will look next to not only logically reasonable, but also expressive.
The world of things helping to show a person's life in all its manifestations, gives the works of Fedotov special musicality. These are the paintings "Anchor, still Anchor" (1851-1852), "Widow" (1852) and many others.
In the second half of the XIX century, the student's genre practically stopped interested in artists, although many genrestones willingly included the elements of still life in their compositions. Much of importance is acquired by things in the paintings V.G. Perova ("Tea Party in Mytishchi", 1862, Tretyakovskaya Gallery, Moscow), L.I. Solomatkina ("City Slavs", 1846, State Historical Museum, Moscow).
Still lifes are presented in the genre scenes A.L. Yushanova ("Wires of the Chief", 1864), M.K. Klodta ("Patient Musician", 1855), V.I. Jacobi ("Performer", 1858), A.I. Korzukhin ("before confession", 1877; "in the monastery hotel", 1882), K.E. Makovsky ("Alekseich", 1882). All these canvases are now stored in the Collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.

In 1870-1880, the leading genre in Russian painting remained household, although the landscape and the portrait also occupied an important place. Movies played a huge role for the further development of Russian art, striving to show the truth of life in their works. The artists began to attach great importance to work from nature and therefore, more and more often appealed to the landscape and still life, although many of them considered the last waste of time, meaningless passion for the form, deprived of internal content. So, I.N. Kramskaya mentioned the famous French painter, not neglected by still lifes, in a letter to V.M. Vasnetsov: "A talented man will not spend time on the image, put, pelvis, fish, etc. It is good to do people who have everything already, and we have a bad corner."
Nevertheless, many Russian artists who have not written still lifes, admired them, looking at the Western Masters Cloths. For example, V.D. Polenov, who was in France, wrote I.N. Kramsky: "You look at how it goes here, as if by oil, everyone works in a kind, in a wide variety of areas that who likes, and all this is appreciated and paid. We mainly have the value that is done, and here - as done. For example, for a copper pelvis with two fish pay twenty thousand francs, and even in addition, they consider this copper deeds to the master of the first painter, and, perhaps, not without reson. "
Having visited in 1883 at the exhibition in Paris V.I. Surimov admired landscapes, still lifes and paintings with the image of flowers. He wrote: "Hiberta's good fish. Fish Sliz is handed over to master, colorfully, tone kneaded. " There is in his letter to P.M. Tretyakov and such words: "And Gilbert fish - a miracle what. Well, at all in the hands you can take, before deception it is written. "
And the Polenov, and Surimov could be beautiful masters of still life, as evidenced by masterly written items in their compositions ("Patient" Polenov, "Menshikov in Berezov" Surikov).
V.D. Polenov. "Patient", 1886, Tretyakov Gallery
Most of the still lifes created by famous Russian artists in the 1870-1880s are works of etuds, showing the desire of the authors to convey the peculiarities of things. Some similar work depict unusual, rare items (for example, an etude with still life for the painting I.E. Repin "Cossacks write a letter to Turkish Sultan", 1891). There were no independent values.
Interesting still lifes A.D. Lithuanko, made as preparatory etudes to the large canvase "Ivan Grozny shows his treasures of the Ambassador Goretia" (1875, Russian Museum, St. Petersburg). The artist showed luxurious fabrics from brocade, weapons encrusted with precious stones, gold and silver products stored in royal treasures.
More rare at that time were etuded still lifes, representing ordinary household items. Such works were created to study the structure of things, as well as the result of exercises in picturesque technique.
An important role of still life played not only in genre, but also in portrait painting. For example, in the picture I.N. Kramsky "Nekrasov in the period" Recent Songs "(1877-1878, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow) Items perform the feature of accessories. S.N. Goldstein, who was studied by Kramsky's creativity, writes: "In search of a general composition of the work, he seeks the interior recreated by him, despite its domestic nature, contributed primarily to the awareness of the spiritual appearance of the poet, the unlawful meaning of its poetry. And indeed, the individual accessories of this interior - Toma "Contemporary", randomly laid on the table in the bed of a patient, a sheet of paper and a pencil in his weakened hands, Belinsky bust, hanging on the wall, the portrait of Dobrolyubov - acquired in this work the importance is not external signs of the situation in this work, But relics, closely associated with a person man. "
Among the few still lifes, the magnificent places occupy the "bouquets". Interesting "Bouquet" V.D. Polenova (1880, Abramtsevo Museum - Manner), the manner of execution a little resembling still lifes, I.E. Repin. Unassuming in its motive (small wildflowers in a simple glass vase), he, however, admires his free painting. In the second half of the 1880s, the similar bouquets will appear in painting I.I. Levitan.
In one, shows the viewer Flowers I.N. Kramskaya. Many researchers believe that two pictures are "a bouquet of flowers. Floxes "(1884, Tretyakovskaya Gallery, Moscow) and" Roses "(1884, Assembly R.K. Viktorova, Moscow) - were created by a master while working on the cannut" Rezazy Mountain ".
Two "bouquets" Kramskoy demonstrated at the XII mobile exhibition. Spectacular, bright compositions depicting garden flowers on a dark background, found buyers even before the opening of the exhibition. The owners of these works were Baron G.O. Ginzburg and Empress.
At the IX mobile exhibition 1881-1882, the publicity of the public attracted the picture K.E. Makovsky, named in the catalog "Nature Morte" (now it is located in the Tretyakov Gallery called "in the artist's workshop"). On a large canvase, a huge dog and a child stretching from the chair to the fruit on the table is depicted on the carpet. But these figures are just the details necessary to the author in order to revive still life - many luxurious things in the artist's workshop. Written in the traditions of Flemish art, the picture of Makovsky still touches the soul of the viewer. The artist, fascinated by the transmission of the beauty of expensive things, failed to show their personality and created a work, whose main goal is to demonstrate wealth and luxury.
All items in the picture are as if collected in order to hit the viewer with their magnificence. On the table is traditional for still life. Set of fruits - large apples, pears and grapes on a large beautiful dish. Here is a large silver mug, decorated with an ornament. Nearby is a white-blue faience vessel, near which there is a richly decorated antique weapon. The fact that this is a workshop of the artist, resemble brushes placed in a wide jug on the floor. The gilded chair is a sword in luxurious sheaths. The floor will rip the carpet with a bright ornament. The dear or dear fabrics - a brocade, confused with thick fur, and the velvet, from which the curtain is sewn. The flavor of the canvas is designed in rich shades with a predominance of scarlet, blue, golden.
Of all the foregoing, it is clear that in the second half of the XIX century, still life did not play a significant role in Russian painting. It was distributed only as an etude to the picture or educational stud. Many artists who fulfill the still lifes in the framework of the academic program, in independent work more than this genre were not returned. Still lifes wrote mainly non-professional, creating watercolors with flowers, berries, fruits, mushrooms. Large masters did not consider still life worthy of attention and used items only in order to convincingly show the situation and decorate the image.
The first routines of the new still life can be found in painting artists who worked at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries: I.I. Levitan, I.E. Grabar, V.E. Borisova-Musatova, M.F. Larionova, K.A. Cow. It was at that time in Russian art a still life appeared as an independent genre.
But it was a very peculiar still life, understood by artists who worked in an impressionistic manner, not as an ordinary closed subject composition. The masters depicted the details of the still life in the landscape or interior, and they were important not so much the lives of things as the space itself, the light haze dissolving the outlines of objects. Large interest is also graphic still lifes M.A. Vrubel, distinguished by unique originality.
At the beginning of the 20th century, such artists played a large role in the development of Russian still life as A.Ya. Golovin, S.Yu. Sudyikin, A.F. Gaush, B.I. Anisfeld, I.S. Schoolboy. New word in this genre said N.N. Sapunov, created a number of painted panels with bouquets of colors.
In the 1900s, many artists of various directions applied to the still life. Among them were so-called. Moscow Cezannists, symbolists (P.V. Kuznetsov, K.S. Petrov-Vodkin) and others. Important place. The subject compositions occupied in the work of such famous masters as M.F. Larionov, N.S. Goncharova, A.V. Lentulov, R.R. Falk, P.P. Konchalovsky, A.V. Shevchenko, D.P. Sterleberg, who made still life full of other genres in Russian painting of the 20th century.
One transition of Russian artists, who in their work used elements of still life would take a lot of space. Therefore, we restrict ourselves to the material provided here. Those who wish can read more detail on the links given in the first part of this series of posts about the genre of still life.

Still life is a genre that acquired fame in Western art by the end of the XVI century and since then remains an important genre.
Still life are classified according to the image of conventional items that can be natural, such as flowers, fruits, etc. or artificial, such as glasses, musical instruments, etc. The following is a list of the 10 most famous still-life artists including Charden, Cezanna fields, Van Gogh and Georgio Morandi.
№10 Still Life Series, Artist Tom Vesselman
Year: 1962
Pop Art movement arose in the 50s of the 20th century, and uses recognizable images from a popular culture. Among the most popular works of Pop Art is a series of still lifes Tom Vesselman. His still lifes depict elements of the modern world, not fruits and vegetables of the previous generation of artists of this genre. This work (still life # 30) is a combination of painting, sculptures and collage of trademarks, which Tom saw on the street.
№9 Vanitas with a violin and a glass ball
Artist: Peter Clas
From:, & nbsp -
Peter Clas is one of the advanced painter artists still life of his time. His vanitas with a violin and a glass ball, which depicts many objects, including the skull, but especially attracts attention to the glass ball, which reflects the artist itself in front of the easel. It feels mystic. "Fruit basket" Caravaggio is very natural, wormworms are even visible on fruit. And it is not clear whether the master portrayed what he saw, or in spoiled fruits, a deeper meaning lies. Certainly good still life with sunflowers Van Gogh. |
The presented rating of still lifes is perfectly shows how diverse paintings of this genre can be. Very "Soviet" (or proletarian) work of Wesselman, although does not depict the attributes of the USSR, except for the Red Star. Lincoln's portrait of Lincoln so much in still life, it looks strange between whiskey, fruit, indoor flower, cat and fruit again, which is involuntary associated with the images of general secretaries, which at one time were an indispensable attribute of any environment. Two bottles of whiskey seem beer, make the impression of a daily, duty drink, which does not require special snacks. The white house in the picture is almost completely hidden by fruit, which hints that it is just a slight detail of the interior. Bright colors give the composition with an explicit character of the 60s and facilitate the perception of a red star next to Lincoln. Brightly contrasts vanitas with a violin, which is sharply different with elegance, sophistication, more restrained flowers and a set of objects from the opposite world, relative to the picture of Vesselman. Basket of fruit Caravaggio is an example of a classic still life, very stylish, laconic, which is always nice to see. Interesting palette, which is not distinguished by variety of colors, but stacked in a certain range of natural shades. And the work of Morandi is so simple, essential and cleaner, that it is impossible to get tired of looking at her. Minimum color, several items that make up the composition, no patterns, diversity of objects, simple, with the exception of the vase, forms. Nevertheless, still life want to consider, find various nuances in seeming simplicity. Cezanna's canvas - a holiday of life, abundance, simple joys - fresh fruit, homemade wine, homemade dessert desserted for eating, and not to create a canonical composition. Still life with lemon is very stylish, with a favorable color combination of black and yellow, and a plate, a basket and a coffee pair create a certain "video", give dynamics. Skat on the picture Sharden immediately attracts attention, effectively highlights the canvas against the background of any other, although in fact it is quite classic, traditional still life. Cubic, the geometric work of the marriage demonstrates that the genre of still life is possible in this style. Well, the sunflowers of Van Gogh are sunny, joyful, radiant, warm work, but not sure that it would put it in first place. |
These still lifes are very diverse! Of course, my favorite sunflowers in this list! Each picture is individual and special. |
I liked only oranges and lemons. The rest is pretty boring! |
Today was at the exhibition in the National Ukrainian Museum of Contemporary Art.
I liked a lot. I share.

What a strange painting is still life: she forces to admire a copy of those things whose originals do not admire.
Blaise Pascal
And truth, did you ever look at the fruit from the kitchen table? Well ... Is that when it was hungry, right? But the picture with a fruit composition or a luxurious bouquet of flowers can be admired by the clock. This is exactly the special magic of still life.
Translated from French Still Life Means "Dead nature" (Nature Morte). However, this is only a literal translation.
Actually still life - This is an image of immobile, frozen objects (flowers, vegetables, fruits, furniture, carpets, etc.). The first still lifes are found on the frescoes of ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
Still life (fresco from Pompey) 63-79, Naples, National Capodimont Gallery. Author unknown.
When a friend came to visit the Roman, the rules of good tone demanded that the owner of the house showed the best of his silver dishes. This tradition brightly reflects the still life from the tomb of the Vestory of Prsk in Pompeiy.
In the center of the composition - a vessel for mixing wine and water, the embodiment of the god fertility of Dionisa-Lieber. On both sides on the Golden Table, jugs, scales, horns for wine are symmetrically arranged.
However, still life is not only fruits, vegetables and flowers, but also ... Human skull, designed to reflect the frequency of human life. That was what the still life of supporters of the Vanitas genre, representatives of the early stages of still life, were represented.
Outstanding Example - Allegorical Still Life of the Dutch Artist Willlem Clase Hemedywhere the tube is depicted next to the skull - the symbol of the elusiveness of earthly pleasures, a glass vessel - the reflection of the fragility of life, the keys - the symbol of the power of the household, controlling stocks. The knife symbolizes the vulnerability of life, and the brazier in which the coals are barely warm, it means its extinction.
Vanity. Vanitas, 1628, Villem Clas Heba.
Willlem Heddy rightly called "Breakfast Master." With the help of an interesting placement of food, dishes and kitchenware, the artist surprisingly gave the mood of the paintings. And his skill to portray the glare of the world on the perfectly smooth surfaces of silver cups and glass cups amazed even famous contemporaries of the artist.
Incredibly, how exactly and delicately Hed knew how to transmit every trifle: the game of light, the features of the form, the color of the objects. In all the paintings of the Dutchman - mystery, poeticity, sincere admiration for the world of items.
Still lifes famous artists
Still life often fond of famous artists. It is about masters of the brush and about their delightful works I will tell you next.
Pablo Picasso - the most expensive artist of the world
Unique and inimitable - this is exactly the name of the outstanding Spanish artist XX in. Pablo Picasso. Each work of the author is a tandem of the original design and genius.
Still life with a bouquet of flowers, 1908
Still life with bulbs, 1908
In addition to traditionally perfect realistic, filled lights and bright colors, or gloomy, performed in the blue-gray tones of still lifes, Picasso was fond of cubism. The artist laid out the items or heroes of their paintings on small geometric shapes.
And although art historians did not recognize Cubism Picasso, now his work is well sold and belong to the richest collectors of the world.
Guitar and notes, 1918
Eccentric Vincent Van Gogh
Along with the famous "Star Night", a series of paintings with sunflowers became a unique symbol of Van Gogh creativity. The artist planned to decorate his home in Arles to the arrival of a friend of Gogen.
"Heaven is a delightful blue color. Sun rays - pale yellow. This is a soft, magical combination of heavenly lazuries and yellow tones from Delftsky Vermeitor paintings ... I can't write something so beautiful ... " Van Gogh said she worn. Perhaps that is why the artist drew the sunflowers countless times.
Vase with 12 sunflowers, 1889
Unhappy love, poverty and non-acceptance of his work prompted the artist to the insane acts and pretty underminate health. But about painting a talented artist stubbornly wrote: "Even if I drop ninety-nine times, I still climb the hundredth time."
Still life with red poppies and daisies. Over, June 1890 g.
Iris. Saint-Remy, May 1890
Comprehensive Still Lifes Field Cezanne
"I want to return the nature of eternity", - loved to repeat the great French artist Paul Cesanne. The artist depicted not a random game of light and shadows, not changing, but the constant characteristics of objects.
In an effort to show objects from all sides, he describes them so that the viewer admires still life, as if at different angles. We see the table from above, tablecloth and fruit - on the side, a box in the table - from below, and a jug - from different sides at the same time.
Peaches and pears, 1895
Still life with cherries and peaches, 1883-1887.

Cecile Kennedy is rightfully considered the most outstanding British artist of modernity. The owner of several prestigious premiums and the favorite of many "the strengths of this world", Kennedy still became famous, only when he was far from 40.
Belgian artist Julian Peppers
Information about the life of the Belgian artist Julian Stuppers is scarce, which you will not say about his paintings. The cheerful still lifes of the artist - in the collections of the richest people in the world.
Gregory Wang Raltte
Modern American artist Gregory Van Ralte pays special attention to the game of light and shadows. The artist is convinced that the light should not fall straight, but through the forest, leaves of trees, flower petals, or displayed from the surface of the water.
A talented artist lives in New York. It is fond of drawing still lifes in watercolor technique.
Iranian artist Ali Akbar Garden
Ali Akbar Sadeghi is one of the most successful Iranian artists. In his works, he skillfully combines the compositions of traditional Iranian paintings, Persian cultural myths with icon painting and art of stained glass.
Still life of modern Ukrainian artists

Ukrainian artist Igor Derkachev was born in 1945 in Dnepropetrovsk, where he lives now. Twenty-five years old visited the art studio studio to the student culture. Y. Gagarin, first as Studiper, and then as a teacher.
The paintings of the artist were pierced by warmth, love for native traditions and gifts of nature. This particular heat through the author's paintings is transmitted to all fans of his creativity.
Viktor Tybenko
According to the author, his still lifes - a mirror of his own feelings and sentiment. In the bouquets of roses, in the axles of Vasilkov, Astra and Georgin, in "fragrant" forest paintings - the unique summer aroma and the priceless gifts of the rich nature of Ukraine.
