Kazimierz SICHULSKI
1879 Lviv - 1942 Lviv
Sichulski rarely took up the subject of still lifes. The composition, in which the arranged objects are reflected in a mirror, plays with false reflections of objects not visible on the table. Everything gives the impression of a world bordering on reality and fairy tale. The effect is complemented by the dilution of patches of pure color and the play of color, value and textural nuances.
