THIS IS A PAST EVENT.
Explore both traditional and unexpected approaches to still life in this exhibition featuring some of the finest examples of still life from collections across the state.
What makes a still life? Things Wondrous & Humble will push the boundaries of standard definitions and conventions—fruits and flowers, specimens piled on without regard to season, inclusion of luxurious items, overt symbolism, and trompe l'oeil.
Through gallery labels, public programs, and other interpretation, visitors will explore how objects appeal to the senses, how tabletop arrangements become an artist's study tool, and how any object—whether beautiful, amusing, or disturbing—can have meaning.
Featuring paintings, photographs, installations, and objects from the decorative arts collection of Reynolda House, ranging from the 19th century to the present, the exhibition is a bountiful exploration of one of art's most popular genres.
Reynolda House is grateful for the generous support of this exhibition from Major Sponsor PNC Bank, and Exhibition Partners Dee LeRoy, Macy's, and Charles and Lamar Taft.
