Apples in bowl 1888

Paul Gauguin's "Apples in a Bowl" is a still life painting created in 1888. It features a bowl with two apples, one green and one red, and a draped white cloth. The scene is simple, highlighting Gauguin's fascination with everyday objects and his use of bold colors and thick paint. The painting was likely created during Gauguin's time in Pont-Aven, France, where he was part of the Symbolist movement and experimenting with a more simplified and expressive style. This piece showcases Gauguin's stylistic approach, emphasizing the form and color of the objects over meticulous realism.
