Beschreibung

Walter Bachinski calls this the most personal of the Shanty Bay Press books.The titleÒreflects BachinskiÕs interest in the genre of still life and the text is written as a personal reflection on the importance of this art form.[He] then explains his debt to some of the great still life artists of the past such as Chardin, Cezanne, Redon, Braque and Matisse and why artistically he finds the tradition so rich. He concludes by outlining his own studio practice and how he approaches the development of a still life composition.Ó The pochoirs reflect Òa variety of approaches taken to still life by Bachinski over the years. Derived from large, existing paintings, these are by far the most complex pochoirs he has done to date.Ó Five of the seven linocuts Òare paired with quotations about or statements by, the artists who have affected the development of BachinskiÕs workÓ (From the Shanty Bay Press website).
