Still Life

Still Life is a visually rich exploration of the still-life genre, showcasing a curated selection of works by renowned artists across history. This compact volume is part of the Mega Squares series, known for its accessible format and vibrant imagery.​

The book delves into the evolution of still-life painting, highlighting how artists have imbued inanimate subjects with vitality and meaning. A notable quote from Wassily Kandinsky encapsulates this perspective:​

“Cézanne made a living out of a teacup, or rather in a teacup that realized the existence of something alive. He raised still life to such a point that it ceased to be inanimate. He painted these things as human beings because he was endowed with the gift of divining the inner life in everything.”​
