STUDIES IN STILL LIFE

STUDIES IN STILL LIFE

 

As the flowers of summer shade into autumn’s ‘mists and mellow fruitfulness’, we celebrate the still life genre, which has long captured in paint nature’s fleeting beauty.

 

The works range from Henri Fantin-Latour’s exquisite, naturalistically-observed apples, to Ivon Hitchens’s Flowers red and gold, at the border between representation and abstraction.

 

Flower paintings by female artists show how differently they approached this traditionally ‘female’ subject: from the rococo delicacy of Anne Vallayer-Coster, to the bold assertiveness of Suzanne Valadon, and the joyous simplicity of Mary Fedden.
