Still Life Artwork

Still life art is one of the key genres of Western art, and can include anything that does not move. Objects may be man-made or natural, with many famous still life artworks displaying cut flowers or fruit and vegetables, the objects of domestic life. While still life has been considered the lowest in the ‘hierarchy of genres’ established in the seventeenth century, many still life paintings are rich in symbolism and are used as a neutral basis for studies of light and colour or for formal experimentation, such as in the work of Cézanne.

Contemporary still life artworks offer a view of modern life, with everyday objects much more varied than they historically have been. EFA’s still life artwork is available in original or print form with many limited edition runs available to buy online.
