Still Life with Onions Large Framed Print
Framed With Mat •
45x36 inches
Still lifes, which suited both Cézanne's character and his method of working, held the artist's interest throughout his career. Following on from the painters of the Dutch and Spanish schools, who devoted much attention to the 'silent life', Cézanne was sensitive to the poetry of everyday objects. But rather than Vermeer, Zurbarán or Goya, it is the name of Chardin that comes to mind. Thus, in order to create an illusion of depth, Cézanne often used, as here, the device of a knife placed at an angle, a technique already borrowed from Chardin by Manet. |

Paul Cézanne (1839 - 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist whose work laid the foundations of the transition from 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century.Cézanne often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of color and small brushstrokes that built up to form complex fields.
