Still Life with Sugar 1890

Paul Cézanne's "Still Life with Sugar" (1890) is a prime example of his Post-Impressionist style, known for its focus on geometric forms and simplified composition. The painting features a tablecloth draped over a table, with various still life elements, including peaches, pears, a pitcher, a sugar bowl, and a plate. The shapes of the objects are rendered with bold strokes and vibrant hues, emphasizing the interplay of color and form, a defining characteristic of Cézanne's work. This still life, now housed in the Hermitage Museum, provides an intimate glimpse into Cézanne's artistic exploration of structure and color.
