Dessert 1877

Paul Cézanne's "Dessert," painted in 1877, depicts a still life of fruits, a glass, and a bottle on a table with a white tablecloth, showcasing the artist's signature style. The composition utilizes geometric forms and bold colors, characteristic of Cézanne's Post-Impressionist approach. The objects are depicted with a fragmented, almost sculptural quality, emphasizing the solidity and weight of each form. "Dessert" demonstrates Cézanne's innovative use of brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and dimensionality, ultimately challenging the traditional illusionistic techniques of earlier painting styles.
