Still life with apples and green vase 1890

This still life painting by Paul Gauguin, created in 1890, depicts a simple arrangement of apples, a green vase, and a blue cloth. Gauguin, a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist movement, was known for his bold use of color and simplification of forms. The painting's flattened perspective and the use of vibrant, almost unnatural hues give it a distinctive quality, characteristic of Gauguin's unique artistic style. The composition, while seemingly straightforward, conveys a sense of depth and movement through the arrangement of the objects and the interplay of light and shadow.
