Three Pears 1878 - 1879

Paul Cézanne’s *Three Pears* (1878-1879) exemplifies the artist’s exploration of form and color in still life. The painting features three pears, rendered with short, visible brushstrokes, giving the fruit a textured, almost three-dimensional appearance. The muted green hues of the pears contrast against the warm brown background, creating a sense of depth and space. Cézanne's simplified forms and emphasis on the structure of the objects are characteristic of his Post-Impressionist style. The painting is a testament to Cézanne’s dedication to capturing the essence of reality, a pursuit that would influence generations of artists.
