I have been living in New York for a while now, I have never thought that MoMA is one of the place that I have to visit because I am not the kind of person who likes art and I never was into it. When I visited it, surprisingly there were a lot people there. I went around to see a painting that I would like to analyze, there were a lot of paintings, I truly had no idea which one to choose because all of them looked interesting. I made up my mind and I picked a painting called “Still Life with Apples” (1898) by Paul Cézanne.

When I see the painting the first thing that came to my mind was how the picture looked so natural but yet abstract. The painting looks fascinating and captivating. The way he painted it as if he sees it differently, by coloring the tablecloth in 3 different colors and it looked blurry in the edge of the table makes me wonder why he did what he did. The apples in the painting look messy, unorganized however he called it “still life” because the apples look perfectly still on its place. The apples surrounded by neutral and dark color; there is some parts where the color looks unfinished and blurry. The only things that looks bright and lively are the apples. It makes me think that he’s trying to tell us about life, how there are things that makes life even, there is the dark side and the bright side of life, there is also sadness and happiness.
