Kornberger, Alfred
Deer skull with skull, 1995
Oil on canvas
Signed lower right
91 x 116 cm
This expressive and colorful still life with deer skull is clearly a vanitas still life that is not stingy with symbols of transience. In addition to the deer skull, a skull, spearhead, and elegant yellow rope allude to the finite nature of our existence. The heaviness of the subject, however, is offset by the elegance of the coloring. A rich blue counterpoints with shades of yellow and red, creating a dynamic that makes one believe more in the earthly than the otherworldly.
