    The master artists who represented the movement 'abstract expressionism' pushed me to see the beauty in the composition and lighting design in still life photography. There is endless possibility and experimentation in still life using the lens, rather than the paint brush, which takes an enormous amount of time to create an image. I love how the lens captures the light and the shadows detailing textures difficult to illustrate by the hands of a painter. Nonetheless, no matter which medium one chooses to work in, the conceptual thinking and visual expression is what makes me love art so much, in any medium.

    In french, « Still life » is called « Nature morte », which means « dead nature ». Il's an amazing translation because it's the complete opposit 😉

    Im really loving the photo assignments Ted! Still life's were something that took me some time to begin to appreciate. When I first approached photography I never quite understood what was so appealing about them. As I began on the journey of being captivated by light and shadow they really began to come alive to me. I can't remember if you have covered him in the past, I feel like you may have, but Chema Madoz really sticks out to me when I think of still life work. His tongue in cheek satirical still life work is truly inspiring! Also, Ralph Gibson's use of ordinary and found objects in his work, really started taking this idea to a new level for me as well. I just received a copy of his "Ex Libris" in the mail yesterday, and once again was blown away by his slivers of detail that he continues to capture so eloquently time and time again throughout his wonderful career. Anyways, again wonderful work, and great inspiration!! I will see what I can do to participate in the photo assignment this round! Thank you

    Hmm... so with Irving Penn's photo of the wooden blocks or the frozen vegetables, is the art in it the sculpture he put together or the photo of that sculpture? If I take a photo of someone else's sculpture then I don't think there is any question that the art is the sculpture and I just took a photo of it, but what is the relationship between the two if you are both the sculptor and the photographer?

    David Dousette this question applies similarly to photos of buildings. The way I see it, a photo with any creative decision-making by the photographer is their art.

    Thanks for the replies. I may be putting too much thought into this, but what if someone assembled his group of frozen vegetables, photographed it, and then dipped the whole thing into a clear resin so that it would last forever? The photo and the original vegetable sculpture are then sent to a museum. Does having the original vegetable sculpture devalue the photo? Is part of the value of the photo the temporary nature of what was photographed? Or if the vegetable sculpture lives on then does that just force you to get more creative with the photograph you take of it?

    Absolutely not. It is possible to create more than one original work of art from one sculpture, just as in quantum physics it is possible for the same electron to exist in more than one place at the same time.

    What would You say when speaking of still lifes by say Cezanne or Morandi - will the frozen compositions be more accepted as art than the painted pcitures?

    Great different directions and past images. Love the art history references for myself, an Art major and art teacher. I do wish this was more geared towards a high school crowd so I could use it in my classroom.

    What are the possibilities of still life without a macro lens? A lot of the examples you showed are quite macro-centric, as someone who does not own a macro, I'd be interested to hear what you'd have to say about still life with a normal lens, or even a wide for example.
