Lampe à pétrole
1878-1881
Paul Cézanne, the father of Post-Impressionism, was obsessed with finding the geometric shapes hidden inside everyday objects. In this quick sketch from around 1880, he studies a hanging kerosene lamp, breaking it down into simple, rounded forms. Though it looks like a casual doodle, these kinds of studies were crucial for Cézanne, eventually paving the way for Cubism and modern art.
