In this painting, since Cezanne took
out all mythological meaning ,its just a table with a basket of apples and
wine. But there is more to it than just
that. Its not what he painted necessarily, it is how he painted. He drew from 2
different angles. He moved. He acknowledged that if you stand in a certain
place it will look different than if you stand in a different one. He showed
two views in this one picture.
Another very important thing about
this painting is that Cezanne was the first to realized shadows aren’t just
black. He shows that shadows are just an advance to the color, making the
original color darker. This is a very big thing in art in these days.
The World's Columbian Exposition, also known as
the Chicago World's Fair, was a big fair
to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival in the US. Even though it was in America and may not have
had a huge influence on art, it showed us something. The people who built it
were making something new. Things in the world are always progessing and that
is what was happening in art as well. Things are getting bigger and better and
new ideas are being made.
