Still Life Apples and Pears — Fine Art

Still Life Apples and Pears sets fruit on a table against a plain ground. The bowl holds round shapes that lean against each other. Paul Cézanne fills the picture with colour patches that sit beside one another. The eye rests on the fruit and then moves to the edge of the cloth.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. A light frame on a dark wall keeps the fruit shapes clear at shoulder height. The surface does not shine, so the soft colour patches stay flat under a lamp. You notice each block of paint without glare.

On a kitchen wall near the bread tin the print sits above the counter. From the table you see the round fruit and the plain background. The room feels steady when you set a bowl down beside it.
