Still Life. The guitar. 1917

"Still Life. The guitar." is a 1917 work by Russian artist Pyotr Konchalovsky. The painting depicts a still life arrangement of objects, including a guitar, a vase of paintbrushes, a hat, and a fan. The objects are arranged in a somewhat haphazard manner, creating a sense of informality. The use of bold, flat colors and simplified forms, characteristic of early 20th-century artistic movements, is evident in the painting, which contributes to a sense of modernity. Konchalovsky's still life is a testament to the artistic potential of everyday objects, elevating the commonplace into a subject worthy of artistic contemplation.
