《Still Life》deeply expresses the rich emotions of the artist. The fluent dark contours the thin plate and vase; both are presented with a mono color tone. The still objects sit steadily on the table and accept the passing of time. The dark green background creates a volume of the air; the arrangement of still objects flow along with the viewers’ emotions. This strict painting method and precise brushstrokes are presented with strong and irregular dark line. Buffet implies the gentleness in humanity, his presentation steadily penetrates into the viewers’ hearts, bringing out a tranquil yet lonesome feeling.
