Still Life

Description

Author: Baytenov, Mazhit. 1949
A still life depicting household objects arranged on a round table against the background of an orange-red carpet with golden ornamental curls. At the center of the composition are two vessels, a large bowl with a dairy product, bowls, cups, and fruits. The space is constructed through a combination of rich colour patches, ornamental rhythm, and freely interpreted object forms. The painterly manner is decorative and expressive, characterized by an active brushwork texture and a generalized treatment of form.
