Still Life Exhibition
Don’t Take Pictures is pleased to announce the results of our online exhibition Still Life. 50 still life photographs were selected and will be on view through May 24. Visit the exhibitions page to view the entire exhibition.
From Dutch masters’ paintings to contemporary photography, the still life holds an important place in art history. This genre allows artists complete control over their subjects, providing an unparalleled ability to manipulate the scene. Often symbolic, the objects in a still life assume their own character and identities.
An entire story can be told by the arrangement of a few items. Toys, collectibles, and household goods become surrogates, and natural life is given a persona. Don’t Take Pictures presents evocative and symbolic still life photographs that show ordinary objects in a new way.
Don’t Take Pictures holds free, quarterly calls for work for online exhibitions.
