The artwork, titled “Classical Still Life,” was created by George Segal in 1990 and belongs to the Pop Art and Environmental (Land) Art movements. Categorized under the sculpture genre, this piece offers a contemporary take on traditional still life compositions.
In “Classical Still Life,” a subtle interplay between textures and forms is evident. The artwork features a collection of objects meticulously arranged on a flat rectangular base. Among these are a highly detailed, textured jug, a bottle, an apple, and a sizable piece resembling a stone or folded fabric. The plain, stark coloration of the jug and bottle contrasts sharply with the naturalistic hue of the apple, creating a visually striking effect. This deliberate choice of color and arrangement not only pays homage to classical still life painting but also imbues a modern interpretation into the sculptural form.
