Still life 1910

"Still Life" by Pyotr Konchalovsky (1876-1956) is a quintessential example of a still life, painted in 1910. The painting features a simple composition of everyday objects including a large red tray with a floral pattern, a white bowl, a white tin can, a wooden spoon, a yellow lemon, and a red pot, all rendered with thick brushstrokes and bold colors. The painting utilizes a dark background to emphasize the vibrant colors and textures of the objects, capturing the essence of domestic life in a visually captivating way. The strong brushstrokes and expressive color choices are characteristic of Konchalovsky's style, which falls under the broader umbrella of Russian Avant-garde art.
