The Basket of Apples

by Paul Cezanne

Artwork Image: The Basket of Apples (1895) by Paul Cezanne

The Basket of Apples is a still life oil painting noted for its disjointed perspective. It has been described as a balanced composition due to its unbalanced parts; the tilted bottle, the incline of the basket, and the foreshortened lines of the cookies meshing with the lines of the tablecloth. Additionally, the right side of the tabletop is not in the same plane as the left side, as if the image simultaneously reflects two viewpoints. Paintings such as this helped form a bridge between Impressionism and Cubism.
