Compotier and Plate of Biscuits 1877

"Compotier and Plate of Biscuits" is a still life oil painting by Paul Cézanne from 1877. It features a bowl of fruit, a plate of biscuits, a cloth draped over the table, and a bottle. Cézanne, known for his contributions to Post-Impressionism, uses short, thick brushstrokes and geometric shapes to create a sense of solidity and depth, characteristic of his style. The simplified forms and vibrant colors create a striking composition, emphasizing the artist's focus on structure and form over realism.
