1894, Paul Cezanne, Still Life with Apples -- Getty Museum (Los Angeles)
From the museum label: This painting dates from Cézanne's mature, most influential phase, during which he sought to, as he said, "make of Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of the museums." The work's gridlike composition, tight integration of objects, and controlled brushwork convey a powerful sense of solidity. Three-dimensional forms, each rendered from different points of view, are bound together on the flat surface of the picture; an apple, for example, is captured by an arabesque escaping from the blue cloth.
