Historically, still life was considered a lowly genre compared to historical scenes and portraiture. However, its meticulous depiction of objects now symbolizes human experiences and societal issues like gender inequality and the climate crisis.
The upcoming exhibition at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester will showcase 150 British still lifes, portraying it as a fundamental genre reflecting love, grief, and providing a social commentary over the centuries.
