Style and Date

Created around 1893, The Basket of Apples is an example of Cézanne's Post-Impressionist style. He rejected naturalistic representation in favor of distorting objects to create multiple perspectives, which eventually influenced other art movements, including Fauvism and Cubism.

Description

In this still life, Cézanne presents a basket of apples on a table with a curtain and a wall in the background. The artist's use of color and brushwork creates a sense of depth and volume, making the objects appear more realistic. However, Cézanne distorts the objects to create multiple perspectives, challenging traditional representation.

Why is it important?

Cézanne almost single-handedly revived the subject of still life, making it an important subject for Picasso, Matisse, and others in the 20th century. He pushed the distinction between the vision of the camera and of human vision, reasoning that the same issues applied to the illusionism of the old masters.
