Still life on the corner of the mantelpiece by Vanessa Bell

Still life on the corner of the mantelpiece by Vanessa Bell

This is one of the most famous still lifes of Vanessa Bell. She wrote it in her studio, using boxes, cartons and artificial flowers for setting the box. At that time, Vanessa Bell worked in close collaboration with Duncan Grant. He painted the same still-life, albeit in a slightly different perspective. I must say that the pictures of these artists are often confused, so Bell soon abandoned the work “side by side” with Grant. As for the “similarity” of the paintings of Grant and Bell, then, by and large, it is appropriate to look only in the plot.

Their styles are completely different in “temperament”, emotional content, as well as the techniques used. For example, this still-life is seen by both authors as completely porous. Duncan Grant decided it in restrained tones and supplemented it with elements of the collage. Vanessa Bell, on the contrary, confined herself to a narrow palette of bright colors and created a simplified pyramidal composition. Note that in this work, unlike the two previous ones, the artist does not restrict the form to black contours, but writes them in pure color areas.
