Paul Cezanne (French 1839- 1906)
‘Apples and Oranges’
a
w
Oil on canvas
73cm x 92cm
1895-1900
The rich design of ‘Apples and Oranges’ is built up from the simple shapes of everyday
objects which Cezanne kept with him, and painted time and again in the quiet of his own
studio.
He does not hide the fact that the painting is deliberately contrived and ‘unnatural’: the
objects appear to be slipping off the table, which itself is seen from a very strange angle.
Shapes appear distorted as they are shown from more than one viewpoint simultaneously
- for example, the base of the fruit dish is seen from the side, while it’s bowl is seen from above.
The use of distortion and shifting viewpoint was carefully thought out. It allowed Cezanne
to depict natural forms and the relationship between them, while stressing the essential
difference between reality and a painting - an arrangement of colour on a canvas.
Creating shapes with colour.
Colour - not light and shade - defines the geometric forms of the fruit. The apple on the
lower right, for example, is described by overlapping colours ranging from deep red at the
edges, through orange tones, to a yellow highlight.
Painted flowers.
Cezanne incorporated this jug in many of his still- lifes, setting it’s painted flowers against
‘real’ fruit in a kind of visual pun.

This is one of the most sumptuous of all Cezanne’s Still- Lifes. The complex
arrangement of fruit, dishes, jug and drapery on a table which slopes dramatically
upwards from the left is given stability by the bold zig-zag line created by the edges
of the white cloth. It was painted in Aix:. Some of the objects in the painting are still
preserved there, in his Chemin des Lauves studio.
