Cexanne's Apples

What draws me to Cezanne's work is the loose, gestural quality of his paintings. When I searched abstract still life paintings, this is one of the paintings that popped up. I thought it was interesting that Cezanne's work can be considered abstract, just because I had never thought of it being abstract, but in a way it really is abstracted and distorted a bit. The deep warm colors of this painting really stand out on the cool gray background. This painting has a soft feeling even with the vibrant colored apples. It feels dreamlike to me as well.
