EXHIBITION NATURE MORTE/NATURE VIVANTE
1
Nature morte, or still life, is an enduring style of painting, with its focus on aesthetically pleasing – and often gourmet – delights: think cut flowers, bright red wine and bunches of plump grapes. But it also alludes to humans’ manipulation of these natural elements. While beautiful, these paintings show elements in decay, struck down by the human need for sustenance or control – or, in modern times, simple greed. Scientists, architects and artists come together in this exhibition at Grand-Hornu to illustrate just how resilient nature is in the face of a human race bent on destroying it.
