Object / Subject: The Art of Still Life
-
Bernard Jacobson Gallery is pleased to present a selection of still lifes by Georges Braque, William Tillyer, Bruce McLean, Matthew Smith, and Tom Wesselmann, among others. Through the still life, links can be drawn between these artists whose careers traverse different centuries. As the selected works move between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, so too do they unfold through a variety of media and techniques. From Braque's historic oil paintings on canvas to Tillyer's recent acrylic paintings on wire mesh, the still life genre is explored and brought to life.
