Paul Cézanne, Great Pine, 1892-96
This is one of my favorite Cézanne paintings mostly because I appreciate the depth that is created by using and balancing warm, neutral and cool colors. This is a great example of Cézanne's mastery over color because as can be seen here, this balance causes the great pine to nearly pop out of the painting as it stands up against a periwinkle sky. I feel like I can walk back into those deep green, almost black shadows in the shrubbery and smaller trees.
Right now I wish I were painting or out on the bicycle... oh but soon enough, soon enough. Right now I'm working on an art history paper for my Italian Renaissance class.
