The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been
characterised as the 'age of speed' but they also witnessed a
reanimation of still life across different art forms. This book
takes an original approach to still life in modern literature and
the visual arts by examining the potential for movement and
transformation in the idea of stillness and the ordinary. It ranges
widely in its material, taking Cezanne and literary responses to
his still life painting as its point of departure. It investigates
constellations of writers, visual artists and dancers including D.
H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, David Jones, Winifred Nicholson,
Wallace Stevens, and lesser-known figures including Charles Mauron
and Margaret Morris. Claudia Tobin reveals that at the heart of
modern art were forms of stillness that were intimately bound up
with movement: the still life emerges charged with animation,
vibration and rhythm. It is an unstable medium, unexpectedly vital
and well suited to the expression of modern concerns.
