Still life

Brief description

Still life with musical instruments belongs to the period of surrealistic search of the artist. Here, ordinary things on the table in the space of a room with an open window acquire a metaphysical, timeless sound; they are endowed with a special meditative tranquility thanks to the light-shading effects and an orderly composition based on the colorful construction of the work. Each subject of this composition is gaining inner weight and mystery, becoming, according to Sviatoslav Hordynskyi, a "grandiose monument"
