Apples and Oranges by Paul CeZanne - Chapter 28
To me this painting looks like everything is popping out of the painting. It looks very natural and flowing. CeZanne uses a combination of colors to make it look like the objects in the painting are sitting right in front of you. Honestly, this could be one of my favorite paintings in the Age of Anxiety because other artists used dadaism and cubism. Dadaism and cubism don't interest me in any way. To me it just seems like a bunch of lines scattered around. The way Paul CeZanne paints this and makes it look like everything is real just blows my mind because it takes real talent to paint like that, where as using dadaism and cubism is just a bunch of scattered lines and doesn't take much talent to do. In this painting you don't need to analyze anything. It's just soothing to look at and is very peaceful. It seems like some people just want to analyze every piece of art but with Apples and Oranges you can look at it and it relaxes the mind.
