Defined as ‘The depiction of inanimate objects arranged in a pleasing display’, the art of Still Life has ebbed and flowed throughout history. Though Edouard Manet called it “The touchstone of painting”, critics considered the genre to be the lowest of art forms, prompting Matisse’s wife, Amelie, to beg him to “stop painting those worthless still lifes!”
We invite you to join with us at the Seven Stars in celebrating the ancient and ever renewing season of Spring with floral images in water color, acrylics and fabric, from the impressionistic to the impressively realistic.
