(Not So) Still Life

I think this example of still life really struck me, as it demonstrated how the bounds of a “still life” can be pushed. In the image featured, you see only inanimate objects, but it a moment with much movement captured. Still life creations have evolved to move away from flowers and food into other household objects. In fact, Sue Johnson included popular animated characters in her modern day still life paintings (very interesting to look up, if you have time).
