FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Throughout his career, Cézanne explored color and line by painting compositions of fruit and flowers. Here, the cool green of the pear—which sits uneasily on a bright white plate—contrasts with the ruddy-colored apples. The skins of the fruits range from red to yellow, while the shadows they cast are largely blue. Cézanne painted these works in his studio, and the modest table here appears in multiple paintings.
