Paul Cézanne. Still Life with Apples.
1895 - 1898. Oil on canvas, 69 x 93 cm. The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
|
Paul Cézanne, one of the creators of modern art. And indeed he does not draw his picture before painting it: instead,
he creates space and depth of perspective by means of planes of color, which are freely associated and at the same time contrasted and compared.
His still-lifes, in their simplicity and delicate tonal harmony, are a typical work and thus ideal for an understanding of Cézanne's art.
Most of his pictures are still lifes. These were done in the studio, with simple props; a cloth, some apples,
a vase or bowl and, later in his career, plaster sculptures. Cézanne's still lifes are both traditional and modern. The fruits and objects
are readily identifiable, but they have no aroma, no sensual or tactile appeal and no other function other than as passive decorative objects
coexisting in the same flat space. They bear no relation to the colorful vegetables of Provence - gorgeous red tomatoes, purple aubergines, and bright green courgettes.
