Still Life Paintings
Historically, the still life has encompassed a wide range of subjects and an even wider range of intended purposes. The goal of this art form has ranged from a literal representation of inanimate objects to narrative work intended to convey a message. The still life artist is not just a passive observer; he or she uses objects to tell a story, share his personality and worldview.
The still life is an ideal subject for beginning artists. It provides a neutral platform upon which the artist can study composition, drawing, value and color. The results are as straightforward or as layered with meaning as the artist desires.
