Quiet life Automatic translate

Central House of Artists, Krymsky Val, 10
2 floor, 11 hall

Anemones, mackerel, jars with spices, pumpkins and pears, old irons and teapots, garlic heads, backpacks and women’s shoes… Only an artist is able to separate the real world from the context of life, show the amazing significance and beauty of small objects, such, it seems, ordinary and routine.

Still life has always been one of the favorite genres of painters: someone showed objects delicately and as if by chance, while others exhibited, as if in a shop window. Still life could be the embodiment of pure beauty, but could serve as an allegorical instruction about the futility of pleasures and the inevitability of death. The silence of the subject and its unrequited readiness for any experiment on itself attracted Cezanne and after it the cubists, Morandi “built the cathedrals out of bottles”… The impressionists in search of a “phenomenon” cleared all signs of existence from objects, abstractionists, comprehending the real world, completely annihilated the real form.
