18th century · Chardin, weight and hierarchy of objects
Strawberries, strawberries, arts attributes and kitchen tables sum up Chardin's classic strength: building the dignity of objects through their weight, their light and their intervals.
Jean Siméon Chardin renews French still life without resorting to spectacular abundance. The Ray confronts open viscera, cats, oysters and utensils in a composition that is both brutal and very orderly. The Strawberry Basket raises a fragile pyramid of red fruits, balanced by a few side objects and a vast silence. The Attributes of the Arts bring together a palette, instruments, casts or books in order to represent the disciplines through their tools, but Chardin maintains the materiality of each element. The Kitchen Table finally composes cauldrons, containers and food through relationships of mass, dullness and reflection. Classicism here comes down to balance observed, not to the supposed nobility of the subject. The "Classic Still Lifes" selection notably compares La Raie and Le Panier de strawberries. His reading favors space.
At Chardin, an object becomes important because it occupies exactly its weight and distance.
