Still life 1920

"Still Life" (1920) by Russian artist Pyotr Konchalovsky is a classic example of the still life genre. The painting features a variety of objects including a pitcher, bowl, and vegetables, arranged on a wooden table and draped with a dark cloth. The composition is simplified, with bold colors and brushstrokes, creating a sense of dynamism and immediacy. Konchalovsky was known for his use of strong color and expressive form, capturing the essence of his subjects with a unique blend of realism and abstraction. This work is characteristic of his mature style, which emerged in the early 20th century.
