Franchoys Elaut [1] (baptized 27 August 1589, in Haarlem – buried on 22 September 1635, in Haarlem) was a Dutch still life painter active in Haarlem. He is known for his monochrome banquet style still lifes, merry company paintings and so-called tronies, i.e. portrait-like paintings of certain facial or figure types or emotions. [2]
The Red Paintings (1953–54) incorporate still more materials such as wood and fabric under the heavily worked painted surface, and seem to foreshadow Rauschenberg's development of assemblage in his "Combine Paintings" as well as his stated intention to act in "the gap" between "Art" and "Life".
Composition with Still Life is a painting by the American artist Edwin Dickinson (1891–1978). Begun in 1933 and completed in 1937, it is Dickinson's largest work. Painted in oil on canvas and nearly monochromatic, the allegorical composition depicts two headless nudes in a mysterious setting amid still life elements.
The painting depicts a violin and a pitcher, but far from the tradition of typical still lives: the outlines of the objects are extremely abstract and monochrome. This style is typical of the stage of analytical cubism, which flourished in 1910–1912.
He also painted landscapes and animal paintings. Den Uyl was well known in his time, and Peter Paul Rubens owned three of his paintings. [ 2 ] Although den Uyl is nowadays comparatively unknown, one of his paintings, in the collection of Gerald Guterman , has been called the "most beautifully perfect Dutch monochrome still-life in existence".
A few independent still life paintings have also been attributed to Teniers. One of the most accomplished ones of these is the Still-life with overturned jug (At Sotheby's on 5 December 2007, lot 5).The work is dated to the mid-1630s on stylistic grounds. This work seems to show the influence of the Dutch monochrome still life painters.
