Paul Cezanne Still Life with Curtain and Pitcher

The same drapery and flowered pitcher here appear also in "Apples and Oranges". At first sight this still-life sems to be a straightforward rendering of s classical subject. Upon closer observation, though, anomalies become apparent; for example in the central dish, which is precariously titled toward the viewer. Cezanne followed singular principles through which he tried to heighten the tangible reality of the objects and adjust the tonal values in relationship to one another.
