Fast and Yummy: All We Know About Cézanne&#;s Fruits
Paul Cézanne was widely misunderstood by his contemporaries. This shy man, who was a precursor of Cubism and Fauvism, loved to paint fruit (in art history called “still lifes”). This is all we know about Cézanne’s fruits:
1. Still lifes were his favorite genre
Most of Paul Cézanne’s paintings are still lifes.
They were made in a studio using very simple stuff like a cloth, a vase, a bowl, or even a skull.
2.Still life with fruit dish cezanne biography In history, there are pivotal moments. Art historians have called him the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the emergence of Cubism in the early 20th century. In Still Life with Fruit Dish he created a shallow, compressed space that flattens the sculptural volumes of dish, glass, and fruit. Serendipity and our love for the arts. Thank you for the kind mention!
In the beginning apples looked like apples
These Apples are among his early works. They look quite real but this will change later…
3. Then, apples started to look like flat balls

4. For him nature should be like a sphere
Cézanne was interested in the simplification of naturally occurring forms to their geometric essentials: he wanted to “treat nature by the cylinder, the sphere, the cone.” An apple or orange would be a sphere obviously.
5.
He created an illusion of depth
Though a precursor of Cubism, Cézanne often created an illusion of depth – like in this painting, with the curtain at the back and the white sheets in the front.
6. He mixed perspectives
Here we can see the beginning of a new system of representation, one that Cézanne would subsequently develop, and that would open the way to Cubism.
While the fruit on the table is shown frontally, the perspective of the table is much more raked: in the same composition, the objects are painted from several different viewpoints.

Still life with fruit caravaggio Gloria Groom and Caitlin Haskell May 17, The exhibition shows Cezanne—who lived mostly by himself for long periods in the South of France, somewhat famous but largely unknown—as an unlikely figure whose work functioned as a link between 19th-century modernity and the ever more radical approaches to modernism that followed. His paintings have been a cornerstone of the collection since the acquisition of The Basket of Apples, a gift of museum trustee Frederic Clay Bartlett. Paul Cezanne.
