In many ways Paul Cezanne was the odd man out among the artists branded as \u201cImpressionists\u201d\u2014those who showed their works outside of France\u2019s state-sponsored Salon exhibitions. Early on, he painted landscapes, the typical Impressionist subject, but his arresting and complex still lifes changed the traditional nature morte<\/em> (dead nature) genre and continue to puzzle and tantalize today.<\/p>\n

At first glance, The Basket of Apples<\/em>, the first of Cezanne\u2019s works to enter the museum\u2019s collection, appears to be a fruit-laden table setting anchored by a wine bottle. Closer looking reveals shifts in reality conveyed by the misaligned tabletop, tilted bottle, cascading apples, and the precarious tower of cookies known as langues de chat<\/em> (cat tongues), which magically stop just short of falling out of the picture. Furthering the sense of what has been called the artist\u2019s \u201ccontrolled chaos\u201d are the shifts in brushwork from the thick strokes used to model fruits within the cloth\u2019s thick sculptural forms to the sketch-like marks used around the edges of both the table and the cloth. Cezanne rarely signed his paintings, so his signature at the bottom left suggests the importance he ascribed to this painting or to its original owner.<\/p>\n","short_description":null,"dimensions":"65 \u00d7 80 cm (25 7\/16 \u00d7 31 1\/2 in.); Framed: 88 \u00d7 104.2 \u00d7 9.6 cm (34 5\/8 \u00d7 41 \u00d7 3 3\/4 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":80,"height":65,"diameter":null,"clarification":null},{"depth":9,"width":104,"height":88,"diameter":null,"clarification":"Framed"}],"medium_display":"Oil on canvas","inscriptions":"Inscribed at lower left: P.

In a letter to his friend and teacher Camille Pissarro<\/a>, Paul C\u00e9zanne compared the view of the sea from L\u2019Estaque to a playing card, with its simple shapes and colors. The landscape\u2019s configuration and color fascinated him. This painting is one of more than a dozen such vistas created by the artist during the 1880s. C\u00e9zanne divided the canvas into four zones\u2014architecture, water, mountain, and sky. Although these four elements are seen repeatedly in Impressionist paintings, C\u00e9zanne\u2019s work is very different from that of his fellow artists. Whereas their primary purpose was to record the transient effects of light, C\u00e9zanne was interested in the underlying structure and composition of the views he painted. Filling the canvas with shapes defined by strong, contrasting colors and a complex grid of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines, he created a highly compact, dynamic pattern of water, sky, land, and village that at once refers back to traditionally structured landscape paintings and looks forward to the innovations of Cubism. Using blocklike brushstrokes to build the space, C\u00e9zanne created a composition that seems both two- and three-dimensional. Not locked tightly in place, his forms appear to touch and shift continually, creating a sense of volume and space that strengthens the composition and brings it to life.<\/p>\n","short_description":null,"dimensions":"80.2 \u00d7 100.6 cm (31 5\/8 \u00d7 39 5\/8 in.); Framed: 107.4 \u00d7 127.4 \u00d7 10.5 cm (42 1\/4 \u00d7 50 1\/8 \u00d7 4 1\/8 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":100,"height":80,"diameter":null,"clarification":null},{"depth":10,"width":127,"height":107,"diameter":null,"clarification":"Framed"}],"medium_display":"Oil on canvas","inscriptions":null,"credit_line":"Mr. and Mrs. Martin A.
