During the last 30 years of his life, Paul Cézanne painted the same objects (the green vase, the rum bottle, the ginger pot, and the apples) over and over again. His interest was not in the objects themselves but in using them to experiment with shape, color, and lighting. He arranged his still lifes so that everything locked together. "Painting from nature is not copying the object," Cézanne wrote, "it is realizing one's sensations." He consistently drew attention to the quality of the paint and canvas, never aiming for illusion. Edges of objects run into each other; for example, a black arabesque seemingly escapes from the blue cloth to capture an apple in the center; the sinuous curves of the blue ginger pot's rattan straps merge with other straps on the body of the bottle behind. Giving form and mass to objects through the juxtaposition of brushstrokes and carefully balanced colors and textures, he gave the painting a sense of comforting stability.
