Still nature
It is very interesting to examine the genre of still life with regard to different artistic movements. As Manet called it – “the touchstone of painting”. German expressionism and, especially the art of George Grosz, influenced the style of Zilzer. The flowers, pipe and newspaper carefully lye on the table, predicting the mood of the author. Accuracy of the delails and intense rich colors make the paintng even-tempered.
