Still Life with Pomegranate and Pears 1893

Paul Cézanne's "Still Life with Pomegranate and Pears" (1893) is a masterful example of Post-Impressionist still life painting. The work depicts a simple arrangement of fruit, a cloth, a ceramic jar, and a table, emphasizing form and color over realistic representation. Cézanne's signature brushstrokes, visible in the textured surfaces and fragmented forms, create a sense of depth and vibrancy, highlighting his exploration of perspective and the essence of objects. This still life, now housed at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., is a testament to Cézanne's innovative approach to art, influencing generations of artists and solidifying his legacy as a pioneer of modern art.
