Still Life Paintings of Cezanne
Paul Cezanne had the rare ability of absorbing his surroundings and interpreting it in the most novel way. Cezanne's treated his work in a style which can be almost callled arcitectural, in this style the visual field is broken down into small, regular brushstrokes that build up the image in planes and areas of colour. He desigend whatever he perceived into simple forms and colour planes to provide the maximum amount of information in the image of his observed subject.
Some of his best known Still life Paintings are Le Dessert, Still Life with Fruit Basket and Vase of Flowers.
Sunflowers” is a series of still life paintings that Van Gogh painted between 1888-1889.
The paintings show sunflowers in all stages of life, from fully in bloom to withering. The paintings were innovative for their use of the yellow spectrum. This series was particularly close to Van Gogh's heart. To his dear brother Theo he wrote-“ the sunflower is mine in a way”
Today Still life Paintings are being interpreted with a combination of American Realism and Cubist-derived abstraction.
