Artas Bute’s painting is characterized by an unfailing sense of balance in the arrangement of the aspects of the composition, as very well as by precision in the particulars and all parts are painted with the similar density. Although the goal of the paintings is not to generate the illusion of place, the compositions preserve the division of the foreground, middle and further floors. The acuteness of a mind properly trained in dramatic art is demonstrated by the plots of the functions, which tend to be encrypted or allegorical. Every subject matter in however lifes has a selected character, associations and tensions create among them. For case in point, a peeled orange has the exact personality as a Voltaire bust, interacting with other things of the composition. In landscapes, on the other hand, the blades of grass kind a rhythmic pattern, which is included by a contrasting uniform sky space.
