Here is the audio guide script based on the instructions provided: This still life by Tadeusz Makowski is all about gentle blues and greens, with soft dabs of paint, and the everyday objects depicted have a slightly cartoonish touch. You can almost imagine the artist wrestling with the forms, trying to pin down the essence of a teapot or a bowl of fruit. I think he's asking, what does it mean to really *see* something? The colours are quiet, but there's a lot going on in the textures. Look at the way the light catches the silver bowl, or the subtle leaves on the teapot! It reminds me of other painters who were trying to find a new way to represent the world, who weren't afraid to be a little bit awkward. I think Makowski is in conversation with them too. Painting isn't just about showing what's there, it's about finding something new in the process. It's a way of thinking, seeing, and feeling.
