| | Still life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A still life is a work of art which represents a subject composed of inanimate objects. | | | Popular in Western art since the 17th century, still life paintings, such as of flowers or fruit, give the artist more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition than do paintings of other types of subjects such as landscape or portraiture. | | | Typical of the American still life works of this period are the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe, Stuart Davis, and Marsden Hartley, and the photographs of Edward Weston. |

| | Impressionist Still Life |
| | Still life is a genre popular among art historians, critics, educated art lovers and "the common man" alike. | | | The Phillips Collection has put together a sensational exhibition not to miss with some 80 still life paintings on display among which are at least two dozen masterpieces (at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, some additional works will be presented; in total 92 paintings). | | | The works from 55 public and private collections around the world document the development and transformation of late 19th-century still life painting from Courbet's realism to the late work of Cézanne which presages the cubism of Braque and Picasso. |

| | STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY |
| | Examples of still life are all around and can be found within brochures, catalogues paintings, advertising, magazine and book covers and within fine art galleries. | | | Still Life, as with so much of photography, has its roots firmly embedded in the romanticism of traditional painting techniques. | | | During the 17th century a branch of Dutch painting created an almost specialist form of the still life and raised it to the state of high/fine art. |

| | It is not surprising that he falls hard for Ida. Her friends are exclusively drawn from the seamier slice of life, though she does what she can for them and her concern draws Gus deeply into the search for the killer who preys upon them. | | | Gus is a would-be artist and part-time private detective haunted by flashes of psychic visions, who has created a new life for himself far from the horrifying murders that plague his past. | | | The visuals are a montage of lights, falling snow, and harsh streaks of color splashed across a stark, blank white canvas by some unknown painter. |

| | Still lifes depict inanimate objects -- flowers, fruits, kitchen items -- with the artist's intention solely to explore color, form, texture, and composition. | | | Pieter Claesz's Still Life with Two Lemons is on display in the Cleveland Museum of Art's renowned still life gallery. | | | Less interested in religious iconography, the public treasured the realistic portrayal of secular objects above all else in painting. |

| | Still Life |
| | The objects of daily life, especially flowers and foodstuffs, have been a favorite subject matter for painters since Greek times when depictions of flowers, fruit, fish, food were not only painted on walls, but worked in mosaic on the floors of palaces and baths. | | | Now there is no question that still life can speak eloquently, both formally and poetically as a "noble" genre of fine art. | | | Individual artists ignored this categorizing, of course, but it wasn't until Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) and his philosophy of realism and pure painting that still life began a life as an independent vehicle for form, color and paint surface, divorced from the classifications of the Academy. |
