Post Impressionism Many Small Movements, 1880-1920
Cézanne’s Still Lives • He was fascinated by the relation of colour to modelling - Brightly coloured, round solids (e.g. Apple) was ideal • He was interested in achieving a balanced design, therefore he stretched the bowl to the left to fill a void. • As he wanted to study all the shapes on the table and their relationship, he simply tilted it forward to make them come into view. • Everything (apart from the bowl & glass) has been reduced to its essential form – either spherical or rectangular – enforcing a great sense of weight and mass. • Curves echo round the canvas. • To achieve a sense of depth without sacrificing the brightness of colours. • To achieve an orderly arrangement without sacrificing the sense of depth – all sacrifices EXCEPT for maintaining the conventional ‘correctness’ of outline. • He was not out to distort nature; but he did not mind much if it became distorted in some minor detail if it helped obtain the desired effect.
