Description: Still life has fascinated both viewers and artists for centuries. Carl Schuch (1846-1903), one of the most important Austrian Realist painters, was a master of this genre. This catalogue now presents a selection of Schuch's flower and food motifs in dialogue with contemporary still life photography, which re-conceptualises this traditional subject in painting and updates it both artistically and in terms of the media used. These works represent a search for authenticity and truth in the portrayal of inanimate things and the everyday, in a profane, private and intimate aesthetic.0Exhibition: Kunstverein Herford, Germany (12.2012-2.2013) / Museum Ratingen, Germany (3.-5.2013) / Stadtmuseum Siegburg, Germany / Städtisches Museum Kempen, Germany / Siegerlandmuseum Siegen, Germany, Kunstsammlungen Zwickau.
