Cezanne: Peppermint Bottle



1888-1892
color contrast here, teal with bright red and yellow, and a stark white contrast.
the geometric controls here make this interesting. Cezanne purposely made the vase assymetrical, as the same shape is echoed throughout the pattern of the table cloth, in the curve of the folds of the white cloth, and throughout. Americans thought this was a big deal because it was still true to nature while the significant form relations made it modern. It's not my favorite cezanne, but I like the colors.
