Still Life - Paul Cézanne
Paul Cézanne used a few simple objects in his still lifes. Still, life was a means of questioning a visual perception for him. He was able to realize his passion through his trials in which he showed an object from different angles. Cézanne was interested in the relationship between color and volume. A brightly colored round mass like an apple was an ideal object to study this relationship.
In his first still lifes, he concentrated solely on objects on the table without addressing the environment. Numerous apples were created by color only. After "conquering" the apple, Cézanne focused on "still life" installations in the space.
