Historically, still lifes were lowest in the hierarchy of painting genres. In 1669, the Secretary to the French Academy, Andre Felibien, ranked the genres thus: (1) History Painting; (2) Portraiture; (3) Genre Painting; (4) Landscapes; (5) Still Life. Scapes and stills were lowest in ranking because they didn’t include people and so couldn’t be used as moral teachings.

Yet there is a fascination in observing the “still” world through another’s eyes. [All works acrylic on canvas unless otherwise noted.]
