Cezanne's Fruit and Basket
Mehmet Ziya Dolgun
11922

In my assay I want to compare Hüseyin Zekai Paşa‘s, Still-Life with watermelon and Cézanne’s Vessels, Basket and Fruit paintings in the aspect of subject matter and style.
As and subject matter we see that both artist chose still-life with fruits on the desk. However Zekai Paşa used richer table with more different kinds of fruits. When we look at the Cezanne’s work we see only apples and pears. But in Zekai pasha’s work we see watermelon, melon, grapes, pears, apples and other different fruit. However in general both paintings have a subject matter that is still-life with fruits. When we compare those two painting in the aspect of style, we see the main different then. Because as an subject matter, they have same composition however with the influence of the style , two painting with same subject matter could be look very different and in this example we see that. When we examine Zekai Pasha’s work, we see the main characteristics of the style of nature. There are small and invisible brushstrokes in the painting. This makes the object more realistic and detailed. Also we can talk about the modeling. If we look at the pear that is at the bottom second from left we see the light come from top. That’s why we don2t see shadows but painter used modeling. We can say that in Zekai Pasha’s work we see the characteristic of traditional western art. On the other hand in Cezanne’s work we see a very different style. First thing that attract my attention is use of color in the panting. We see almost unrealistic and pastel colors used in the work piece. Because of that we cannot figure out which type of fruits are there. Also brushstrokes are thick and visible. This brushstrokes and use of color moves away the painting from style of nature to more subtract painting. Also we see that there is a distortion between 2d and 3d because of the multiple viewpoints. When we look at the table it

    The moment I saw Vincent Van Gogh’s painting, Irises, I knew this was the perfect piece to learn more about its distinguishable design. By looking at his artwork the first thing that came to my mind was Paul Cezanne’s The Basket of the Apples. Cezanne’s painting simply depicts a veneer-made container holding apples on a table with other items, while Van Gogh’s work displays an outdoor image of blue flowers called irises. Even though the artworks do not present the same material, both the fruits and blossoms were completely removed from its natural configurations. These masterpieces, led me to the notion that there lies a connection between them, but after doing research I found a number of differences that splits Van Gogh’s and Cezanne’s artistic…

    He began experimenting with depicting two different perspectives in one image which is easily visible in his painting, Still Life with a Plate of Cherries (1885-87) (fig 1). Note the two different viewpoints of the plates, the plate of cherries is painted from a bird’s eye perspective. Whilst the plate of peaches is perceived from a side view. The same concept again appears with the vase, you can peer inside as well as including a side view of the object. Perhaps if our eyes were inserted vertically inside our heads rather than horizontally, this would be an accurate depiction of how we see. Subsequently this technique was something that couldn’t be duplicated by photography at the time. Cezanne’s method of working sparked ideas and inspiration for other artists, hence the take-off of modern…

    When it stops raining school children locked their classmate into a closet so she couldn’t see the sun.

    Cézanne’s painting has no illusion of reality due to the easily detected brushwork, little sense of depth, and delineation of form. There is almost no three-dimensionality, an element crucial to the creation of illusion, whereas in Vecchio’s there are several elements that create an idea of reality, an idea that the scene before us is indeed happening: the strong light sources that apparently model the figures and other objects, the traceable vanishing point, which is almost impossible to detect in Cézanne’s Bathers, and the significant contrast between the darker and lighter areas. The density of the brushstrokes and the absence of details in Cézanne’s painting break the illusion of the visual effect created by the harmony of colours, whereas in the Bathing Nymphs there is no apparent trace of the brushwork.…

    Monet uses loose brushstrokes and does not blend his colours. This gives the painting an unrealistic aesthetic. The steeple of the town centre looks much like Van Gogh’s later Starry Night. The artist still does retain aspects of classical landscapes in his use of light and shadow to form the waves. The precarious blending of the natural aspects is very different to traditional techniques. Monet challenges the artists of the past with his innocuous shapes, silhouettes and brushstrokes. His use of blending creates a haze over the image which really does lend viewers an impression of the scene rather than a realistic image of recollection.…

    The most obvious comparison between these two works is the subject matter as one is a recreation of the other, though a recreation for a completely different reason to that which the original painting was created, and where one is a masterful oil painting from the eighteenth century the other is a powerful piece of photographic art.…

    Both of the works were done by carving. “When carving wood, the artist uses sharp tools to cut and gouge the surface. The artist must also consider the wood's grain and work carefully with the grain (https://elearn.sinclair.edu/d2l/le/content/51782/viewContent/1803656/View)”. Marble is made from limestone then chiseled to fit the artists needs. In understanding the way in which the sculptures were constructed, it makes me have a great appreciation for them.…

    The contrast in this painting is used to draw one’s attention to the center of the photo, where the light is illuminating the objects around it. The type of balance in this painting is radial, since the candle light radiates outward from the center in a circular fashion. The emphasis of the candle light makes it unavoidable to the viewer. Also, the woman’s deep gaze into the light draws attention to it as well. The space around the focal point allows the viewer to focus only on that, because it is plain with no distractions.…

    This paper is a formal analysis of the Basket of Apples, a still life oil painting made by Paul Cézanne in 1895. The painting is about 25.6 inches tall times 31.5 inches wide. This composition illustrates a geometric spatial organization on disjointed perspectives. Although the artwork is absent of any symbolic and mythological content, its essence is to illustrate harmony of its various elements over subject matters. The systematic representation of shapes and colors are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable in this art piece. Repetitive round and angular shapes are dominant forms apparent within the work. These simple geometric shapes support the composition of structural regularity in the subjects of the painting. Furthermore, the artist skillfully employs effects of light and shade to make a simple shape such as a circle to look like an apple. However, the light is not evenly distributed as the objects in the right portion of the painting appears to be more luminous than the objects on the left side. The color is another very important element in the painting. The way the tonal patterns are distributed create color harmony. The painting does not utilize a wide range of colors, instead, the overall color arrangement is confined to a few cool and warm tones. The cool tone of the pearl white cloth, the plate and the grey wall are made to draw a distinct attention from the warm autumn-like tone of the other objects on the table and the table itself. Furthermore, complementary colors are also used to create contrast. This is evident in the placement of green and red apples inside the basket. However, the color contrast and transition are cleverly accomplished in a subtle manner. This complements the dominating use of analogous colors, such as red and orange, to achieve overall color harmonies in the painting. It is also worth noting that the color becomes more intense as the objects becomes smaller. Dabbing of uneven colors and visible brushstrokes are…
