Paul Cézanne: Ginger Jar (Pot de gingembre), Paul Cézanne, c. 1895, Oil on canvas, With its dynamic composition and lively colors, this 'still life' seems anything but still. Foreground and background merge, and objects jostle for space, as drapery obscures the central motif. Ginger jars were popular home decorations in nineteenth century Europe and – like this one – they tended to feature shades of blue. Cézanne included them in several paintings, often alongside a similar selection of fruit., Overall: 28 7/8 x 23 3/4 in. ( x cm)
