Braessas Dimos
(Aitoliko 1880 - Athens 1964)

Dimos Braessas was a student at the School of Fine Arts in Athens in the first decade of the twentieth century (1903 - 1909), when the academic approach of the representatives of the Munich School was still in the ascendant. However, he soon turned towards plein air painting, in which rich, dense, thick paint, which the artist applied in bright, luminous shades, predominates. It would seem that the company of artists (such as Stelios Miliadis, Georgios Kosmadopoulos, Periklis Vyzantios) who had embraced the influences of French Impressionism affected Braessa, so that he abandoned studio painting and resorted to the open air.

Description
In Still Life, the objectives of the artist have more to do with the composition. The red material which dominates in the background of the picture restricts the perspective, while at the same time bringing out the contrasts between the black colour on the bottle and the white on the cauliflower.
