STILL LIFE WITH FRUIT
Painting fruit. Only the artist knows its joys and reward. To penetrate into the serenity of nature is a sublime experience. Paul Cezanne wanted to , ' astonish Paris with an apple '. It would seem it was a rather absurd vision at the time, but the history of art shows that he did indeed accomplish that. His many still life's with fruit bear dogged testimony to this part of his vision. The mastery of the still life is part of the basic ground work for any artist who wants to develop painting skills.
