Compotier, Glass and Apples 1880

"Compotier, Glass and Apples" is an oil on canvas still life painted by Paul Cézanne in 1880. Cézanne's still lifes are known for their simplified forms and flat planes, and this work is no exception. The fruit is depicted in a bold and almost geometric style, and the composition is carefully constructed to create a sense of balance and stability. The painting showcases Cézanne's mastery of color and his unique perspective on everyday objects, highlighting his departure from Impressionism toward a more structured and formal style.
