사과와 배 by Paul Cézanne, circa 1882-85

Paul Cézanne was famously obsessed with fruit, sometimes letting his apples rot for weeks just to capture their perfect form. In this loose, airy sketch from the early 1880s, he arranges a row of apples and pears with delicate blue and green pencil outlines, barely filling them in with washes of red and yellow. It might look like a quick doodle, but this Post-Impressionist master was actually deconstructing nature into basic geometric shapes, a radical approach that directly paved the way for Cubism and modern art.
