Still life 1912

Niko Pirosmani's "Still Life" from 1912 is a striking example of his distinctive style, characterized by bold outlines and vivid, sometimes contrasting colors. The artwork, housed in the Art Museum of Georgia (AMG), features a variety of objects including a pitcher, glasses, fruit, and fish, arranged against a simplified blue background. Pirosmani's use of flat planes and minimal detail gives the painting a timeless quality, echoing the folk art traditions of his native Georgia. This composition, despite its simplicity, exudes a sense of quiet contemplation, capturing the essence of everyday objects in a uniquely expressive manner.
