The creators of the exhibition point out that for many centuries still life was considered the lowest and simplest form of art in the context of academic genres of painting. It was perceived as an elementary part of art studies, which women could also paint. At the same time, still life as a genre has attracted the attention of many great masters, from ancient Greeks to modern contemporary artists.
“The topicality and popularity of still life among society can be explained not only by its easy-to-understand, prose of life, but also by its multi-layered, illusory nature and the mixing of hidden symbols with important philosophical concepts through which man seeks the meaning and order of the world and his place in the world, “sums up the creators.
