The Still Life: Past and Present
Wendy Katz
All paintings have a rhetoric. Of what, we ask, are they trying to persuade us? In teasing out the rhetoric of the still-life genre, we might also inquire about what still lifes convey or conjure. They remind us, on occasion, of a kitchen, a pantry, a dinner table. These we associate with the domestic realm of provisions and service or of a social class characterized by manners and cultivation. On other occasions we find a rifle, a knife, or dead game, which we associate with the wilderness realm of the hunter and provider. Gender effects follow close behind. We should ask what promises are implied by such still lifes. Albert Einstein captured this promise in his remark that a table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin are all that one needs to be happy. Happiness attends the promise of still lifes. Does this traditional rhetoric hold today? Kira Greene's recent painting (page 4) provides an arch interpretation of the still-life genre and the promises it makes. The pun in the title, Archway to Happiness, may or may not be her intention, but it supports a reading of the work as satirically commenting on the very rhetoric of the genre. It also foregrounds the transnational nature o

Light in painting
Light in painting fulfills several objectives like, both plastic and aesthetic: on the one hand, it is a fundamental factor in the technical representation of the work, since its presence determines the vision of the projected image, as it affects certain values such as color, texture and volume; on the other hand, light has a great aesthetic value, since its combination with shadow and with certain lighting and color effects can determine the composition of the work and the image that the artist wants to project. Also, light can have a symbolic component, especially in religion, where this element has often been associated with divinity.
The incidence of light on the human eye produces visual impressions, so its presence is indispensable for the capture of art. At the same time, light is intrinsically found in painting, since it is indispensable for the composition of the image: the play of light and shadow is the basis of drawing and, in its interaction with color, is the primordial aspect of painting, with a direct influence on factors such as modeling and relief.[1]
The technical representation of light has evolved throughout the history of painting, and various techniques have been created over time to capture it, such as shading, chi
