About Still Life

“Still Life,” crafted by Kazimir Malevich around 1911, is an artwork created using gouache and watercolor on paper. This piece, belonging to the art movement of Fauvism, measures 52.5 by 51.8 centimeters and represents the genre of still life.

The artwork depicts a cluttered arrangement of fruits and foliage on a table with vivid, expressive colors. Dominant hues of red, yellow, green, and blue in various shades define the forms of apples, pears, and other fruits, highlighted by the contrasting dark outlines. The fluid and dynamic brushstrokes, emblematic of Fauvism, suggest a sense of movement and liveliness in the scene. Leaves and fruits are nestled within and around a central compote, creating a dense and vibrant composition. The background and table surface also play crucial roles, filled with patterns and colors, contributing to the overall dynamism and visual appeal of the artwork.
