Still-Life with a curtain & flowered pitcher, detail unfinished tablecloth [1898]
St. Petersburg, Hermitage
Far from being at odds with the rest of the highly worked picture, the ‘unfinished’ passage in the right-hand bottom corner plays an important pictorial role. The transparency of the napkin provides a necessary note of spontaneity and emphasizes the solidity of everything else in the still life. It is also important to remember that Cézanne never thought in terms of ‘finished’ pictures; he had the courage to stop before killing a picture with a last fatal brushstroke.
