Still life has fascinated both viewers and artists for centuries. Carl Schuch (1846–1903), one of the most important Austrian Realist painters, was a master of this genre.
This catalogue now presents a selection of Schuch’s flower and food motifs in dialogue with contemporary still life photography, which re-conceptualises this traditional subject in painting and updates it both artistically and in terms of the media used.
These works represent a search for authenticity and truth in the portrayal of inanimate things and the everyday, in a profane, private and intimate aesthetic.
