The Story
Picasso's 1901 Still Life is perpetually stunning. Museu Picasso comments of that work that it "conveys his first reflections on the still lifes painted by Cézanne, whose works he had had occasion to behold at the ‘Centennale’ section of the Parisian Exposition Universelle of 1900 and during his visits to Vollard’s gallery. In order to highlight the volume and material substance of the objects depicted, Picasso used contrasting textures, shaping the jug, vase and fruit bowls with vibrant impastos and turning to subtle nuances of colour for the glass and the dish of oysters. By duplicating the angle of vision of the fruit bowl and the table surface he managed to achieve a sense of depth without a vanishing point. The thick outline of the objects recalls those in works by Gauguin and Van Gogh that Picasso had also had the chance to admire on his first visit to Paris."
