"STILL LIFE / LIFE IMITATING ART"
According to Wikipedia: "A still life (Visual Art Genre) is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural or man-made."
Also, according to Wikipedia: "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Oscar Wilde holds that anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy.".[1][2]. The philosophy holds that art sets the aesthetic principles by which people perceive life, and does not imitate life. What is found in life and nature is not what is really there, but is that which artists have taught people to find there, through art. As in an example posited by Wilde, although there has been fog in London for centuries, one notices the beauty and wonder of the fog because "poets and painters have taught the loveliness of such effects...They did not exist till Art had invented them.".[1]
