Still life with apples
still life (picasso 1901)
The bowl or bottle is used to highlight the rounded shape of the fruit while straight lines delimit the compositional space. In the modeling of the tablecloths he begins to distance himself from the way of working of Manet, his closest precedent.
This is part of a series of six still lifes executed in Cézanne’s Parisian studio. Indeed, from one painting to the next, the same accessories are found: earthenware tableware and pitcher with floral decoration.
The compositional principle is also similar, with a hanging that closes the perspective, and evokes the Flemish still lifes of the 17th century. However, the dynamic effect created by a complex spatial construction and a subjective perception of the objects underline Cézanne’s primarily pictorial approach.
Through his highly rigorous plastic language, Cézanne thoroughly renewed a traditional genre of French painting since Chardin. The modernity and sumptuousness of Apples and Oranges make it the artist’s most important still life of the late 1890s.
fruit bowl, glass, and apples
In the still lifes, Cézanne depicted objects as if they could rub and mingle, dissolve in the harmony of color and represent situations, somehow as a substitution for life itself, something the painter was unable to cope with. While, in the fruits, which he painted, they simulate the brightness of the fruits of paradise. On one occasion Cézanne told the poet Gasquet “I have given up flowers. They wither quickly. Fruits are more faithful. It is as if they want to ask your forgiveness for losing color. Their idea is exhaled with their perfume. They come to you in all their aromas, they tell you of the fields they abandoned, of the rain that nourished them, of the dawn that contemplated them. When with pulpy touches of brush you reproduce the skin of a beautiful peach, the melancholy of an old apple, you can glimpse in the reflections that they exchange the same faint shadow of renunciation, the same love of the sun, the same memory of the dew”.

Own manufacture: All our paintings are printed in high resolution on canvas, a cotton canvas that covers the frame that we manufacture in wood whose thickness is 35x30mm. The frame is meticulously assembled to ensure its total resistance. All the paintings are ready to hang and decorate, as they do not require a frame.
The work can be visited at the Picasso Museum in Paris, where there is also a rich exhibition of Picasso’s sculptures, all of them selected by the painter’s family. The collection consists of a total of 300 paintings and 100 sculptures, as well as more than 3000 engravings of all Picasso’s pictorial styles: from the cubist periods to his neoclassical period, where we frame this work shown here.
The painting represents Picasso’s most classical period. This work has nothing to do with his famous cubist works where we can observe the different perspectives highlighting the geometric figures. In this work, there is a return to the classic by painting a still life whose composition is simple and straightforward.
still life with red onions
Cezanne was a painter for a long time ignored and misunderstood, with a tortuous struggle between his vocation and the pressures that his powerful banker father wanted to establish. The death of his father allowed him to receive an inheritance that allowed him to live comfortably and dedicate himself to painting in an independent and personal way, taking refuge in Provence. Then he recovers the genre of still life to rationally and intellectually experiment with shapes and framing.
– Importance of color: By means of a color of great intensity and by means of contrasts and colored shadows he reconstructs the form and creates an effect of light and brightness. Also the shades of color build the forms as can be seen in those rigid and stiff folds of the tablecloth in which the shadows are violet.
– Another great contribution of Cezanne that can be observed in the still life are the different points of view or framing. The plate with fruit is seen from above, from above; on the other hand, the jug with floral decoration has a frontal framing. And in some cases it joins two frames as in the tablecloth or the fruit bowl in this framing from below and from above. This multiplicity of visions of objects will be an antecedent of cubism.
