Still Life with Compotier

Still Life with Compotier:


by Paul Cezanne, who died on October 22, 1906 of pneumonia at the age of 67.

I feel an attraction to this offering, with its simple fruit with a glass of water. It's often my own choice.

Here's a 5-minute biography of Cezanne showcasing some of his paintings:

  10. I was by earlier today and you had not posted. My apologies, but it's been a very long day, because I got my lawn mower started and worked until late.

    I'm a big fan of Paul Cezanne. His art has always intrigued me, and this one is no different. I think you found an absolutely lovely entry for T. Sorry it's Wednesday morning before I had time to check my blog.
