Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦<p>"Still Life with Flowers and Fruit," Paul Cézanne, c. 1890.</p><p>Cézanne (1839-1906) was an enormously influential artist in the years after Impressionism. He introduced new techniques and styles, and in many ways is seen as emblematic of the shift from the 19th to the 20th centuries, with many viewing his work as an inspiration to 20th century avant-garde and even Cubism.</p><p>Here, we have an example from his obsession with still lifes in the 1880s. He would paint over and over different arrangements of fruit, flowers, a white cloth, and a wooden table, always shifting things and trying different light. He truly sought to grasp and capture the objects he painted.</p><p>Happy Flower Friday!</p><p>From the Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PaulCezanne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PaulCezanne</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PostImpressionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostImpressionism</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StillLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StillLife</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FlowerFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlowerFriday</span></a></p>
