Cézanne's Radical Approach to the Still Life

The still-life is star for Paul Cézanne, who, while not the first artist to paint a still life, was the first to elevate everyday objects to be the primary subject. Nature morte; pommes et poires, was made in the late 1880s at the height of the artist’s career, when he was living in Provence and creating his most celebrated works. Simple in composition and striking in its modernity, this painting is a beautiful and exciting example of Cezanne doing what he did best- exalting the quotidian and giving the world a new way to examine the natural world.

    His portraits and landscapes are just as exalted. Regardless of the motif, it is music of the highest order. The still Life is simply exploring visual reality. The way you use the word simple and economical doesn't do. His work regardless of motif is always a wonderful balance of brush, color, artistic personality and motif, the hallmark of modernism.

    Great video, but Rembrandt's still lifes ?Rembrandt was never famous for his still lifes. You mean his painting of Slaughtered Ox or two dead peacocks ? they are more close to genre paintings cause both paintings involved with human figures. Or anyone else correct me and show me more still lifes by Rembrandt.

    Cezanne was a genius and was the progenitor of cubism, Picasso admired his work

    Cezanne was a 'progenitor of cubism' , only because Picasso and others projected that conceptually upon him. I would argue that Cezanne went much deeper in terms of the art form.

    @@artroshiΙ ve read many books about Picasso and by Picasso, he definitely admired Cezanne and said many times that he owes a lot to him, he understood many things that nobody did at his time, so i don't get what conceptual projection means and i don't think it matters, Picasso's biggest influence was Cezanne

    @@dimifisher7942Never said he didn't admire Cezanne, Braque was more influential tho! But in my opinion, Cezanne is a modern artist and Picasso while brilliant and even showing genius did not go as far or as deep as Cezanne. Cezanne's concerns were not conceptual. Remember his use of the phrase, 'petite sensation". Here's a link to my comparing and contrasting Cezanne and Da Vinci. Might make things clearer for you. kzread.info/dash/bejne/anh60Jl9Yq7gc6Q.htmlsi=l60m8OE8_4XDe1wB Regards!

    When on earth did young Americans start talking like this? Sing songy jerky upward inflections. Someone told me that the croaky petering out phrases is called 'vocal fry' . Whatever, it is difficult to listen to. it's quite a recent thing as Americans never used to speak like this.
