To Copy a Master, is to Study That Master
this is my version - the original was done in 1899
oil paint on Board (Bosco) - oil paint on canvas (Cezanne)
the original was 31" X 39"

While still an undergraduate I made this copy of "Apples and Oranges" - a painting by Paul Cezanne (1839-1906). I studied his use of color planes, intense hues and clear brush strokes that build up to establish complex fields and dense/weighty forms.

Cezanne formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and early 20th-century Cubism. He remained an influence on my vision as a painter for many years.
