Always comment and analyse the Art pieces! If you are looking at the picture and want to ask a question - comment with a question and I shall try and answer it as soon as possible!
Painted in oils, this piece by Cézanne is simply one of many paintings of still life. It currently resides at The Hermitage Museum in Leningrad. Interestingly, Cézanne studied Law and only became interested in Art through regular drawing classes - he rebelled against his father when he stopped studying Law only to take up painting. Cézanne was no natural artist -it took him many years to become an accomplished painter and the rest, as they say, is history.
Cézanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, colour, composition and draftsmanship. His often repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields, at once both a direct expression of the sensations of the observing eye and an abstraction from observed nature. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.
