Modern Still Life Art Paintings are a unique style of painting. A still life painting is painted in the style of the study of inanimate objects. Many of these types of paintings are of everyday objects that you would encounter, like a plant, a soup can, fruit and vegetables and many others. Perhaps more importantly than that, however, is the strong degree of control that an artist can have over their work. The different things that make up the total picture can be rearranged by the artist at will. If you want to move the lighting or whatever, you can do what you want with your picture and you have that freedom. Still life painting is seen as a mostly pure art form, though some see it as a bit abstract. Even though still life painting can have its roots traced back to the ancient Egyptians, it was the 17th century Dutch painters who really caused the genre to come into its own. In the 20th century, technological innovations have created art movements like cubism and pop art.
