The catalogue to a wonderfully engaging exhibition - I remember visiting the London showing at the Hayward Gallery and being quite blown away by the breadth of the subject.
Whilst a very traditional subject, still life has been a major source of inspiration for artists throughout the c20th and this wide-ranging show offers a great deal of interest.
