Still-Life Flowers in a Vase (1885)

Picture
Paul Cezanne, French,1849-1906
Oil on Canvas, 27"x18", in a Private Collection
This painting is considered one of Cezanne's most famous works of art. Paul Cezanne was born in Aix Provence, France. Later he returned to his home town to paint and it was there that he died. His novel way of painting and break through creativity was not fully accepted until after his death. However, his courage to explore ways to simplify a subject and eventually fracture its form helped to forge the early 1900's form of art called Cubism. It has been said that he influenced Matisse and Picasso in this age of art known as the Post Impressionism.

Reflecting the bright and happy days now being experienced, the fallen flower is a harbinger of the more torturous and isolated days ahead.

If Cezanne would have lived beyond Cubism, where would his art have gone?

Just as Cezanne, I painted top-heavy flowers arranged in an impossibly small vase – with flowers tilted far to the right and strong shadows.

Cezanne was a master of composition, brilliant tones and planes of color. His style fell between impressionism and post-impressionism.  Here, I have melded the colors and composition in a later, more abstract style.
