A Closer Look: Still Life

A Closer Look: Still Life
- Used Book in Good Condition
What is still life? We are familiar with the objects portrayed but have difficulty explaining the essence of this popular art form. Erika Langmuir examines the special fascination of still life, and what distinguishes it from other categories of painting. She discusses its evolution from the trompe lâ€™oeil wall paintings of antiquity, through its revival in the age of Caravaggio and VelÃ¡zquez, and again in the works of CÃ©zanne and Picasso. Originally published as Pocket Guide Still Life, this eloquent survey benefits from a wider format, new reproductions, and updated references.
