Petr Konchalovsky. (1876 - 1956)
Still life. 1918
Oil on canvas. 122h129
Post. in 1928 from the State Museum Fund (Moscow Branch)
Adjoining the spontaneity of paints, their discordant sounds of "Still Life" by Petr Konchalovsky, whose art is largely defined the look of "Jack of Diamonds", one can not but feel a special pleasure. Although still life was written in a difficult year of 1918, an artist with great joy reveals in a clash and the intersection of lines, volumes, planes pictures cosmetic value of each item. Deforming and shifting forms of canvases, stretchers, logs of firewood, stoves, axes and the space itself workshop, emotionally straining color, it mixes the genre borders (well known for defining the role of still life from the masters "Jack of Diamonds"). In the canvas is guessed and the influence of Cubism.
