Still life
Alexandra Exter • Painting, 1908, 80.5×65 cm
Description of the artwork «Still life»
This still life written by Alexandra Exter in the period of formation and search for identity, but it is clearly visible the main facets of original talent of the artist. First and foremost, it is about passion for color party, on the dynamics of color. In contrast to the classical interpretation of still lifes, we can't say that this picture is the background and what is depicted in the background. Before us is a dense unity of matter that cannot be divided into background and figures.
Alexandra Exter is not just makes it light and air are full participants in the still life that is characteristic of post-impressionism, which include her early experiences. It represents probably not even light, and the color element from which they are made and the objects and surrounding space. In the picture is already noticeable desire of the artist to tsvetodinamos – solid color ground devoid of static, it is condensed, diluted, Vyritsa and appears to be breathing.
In the picture we see the neglect of Exter parts and details, it is, by and large, not an essence important qualities of the depicted objects in order to convey the flow of colored matter, light elements. The items are shown conditionally, and if the apples and pears in the foreground is identifiable, then flowers is the sensation of flowers. Exter does not set itself the task of showing the objects, it is important to capture, to catch the overtones and vibrations of color.
Favorite artist shades of blue, red, green fascinating variety of color nuances and gradations of density: depending on the strength of the stroke before us is heavy, significantly massive fruits, that lightest, sliding modulations of color and light, and between them there is incessant interaction, they are changeable – this is characteristic of Exter tsvetodinamos. Warm yellow shades on the fruit make the picture glow. The color of Exter – do not paint the layer it the material from which to create everything.
