Still life 1911

"Still Life" by Pyotr Konchalovsky, painted in 1911, is a quintessential example of the artist's cubist style. The painting features a collection of simple objects – a box, a jar, bottles, and a bowl – arranged on a table. Konchalovsky employs simplified forms and flat planes of color, reminiscent of Cézanne and Picasso, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The composition is asymmetrical, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas. Konchalovsky's use of bold color and gestural brushstrokes imbues the scene with a dynamic energy, capturing the essence of everyday objects and the fleeting nature of light.
