- Authors
Tatar, Tõnis
- Abstract
This article expands upon the subject of the traditional still-life painting of Olav Maran, analyzing the artistic model and the inherent aesthetic and moral qualities. An attempt is made to decipher the painter's philosophical message and point to the methods used to express it. Also, the general characteristics of the genre of still-life painting are described and parallels are drawn between the still-life of Olav Maran and its historical predecessors in world art, especially Spanish 17th century painting and the work of Jean-Siméon Chardin.
