It really is...as usual Cézanne was ahead of his time. Reminds me of the art which was to come from Mexico in the following century...--Chimino (talk) 19:51, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'm also curious how the following painting may fit into the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Paul_C%C3%A9zanne_170.jpg --Chimino (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Looks like a companion painting...Modernist (talk) 20:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
There's another similar one, Three Skulls on a Patterned Carpet, though no image exists in the commons. Also this [1]. I started a 'related paintings' section to include just such images, but I couldn't figure out how to format it for two images w/o having them look too small.
Gutsy, indeed. But when I look at these works, intimate still life paintings concerned with form and color, produced in solitude, they connect to Chardin or Corot as much as they presage the 20th century. Jarring as they are, they also take their place in the French studio continuum. When this type of painting is done today it usually leans heavily on the stilted academic prototypes. Cezanne breathed life into that tradition....no pun intended. JNW (talk) 23:26, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
