Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses by Paul Cézanne

Often quoted as the father of modern art, Paul Cézanne strove to solve the problems of painted art as he saw it in earlier artists works. The ambition to maintain the brightness in the colors and arrangements of his subjects, while keeping the depth, gives us these charactistic masterpieces. They might seem a bit distorted at first, but what we are left with is the departure from using the 'correct' outlines and perspectives, to the benefit of the beauty in color and arrangement.
