This is a still life of golden delicious apples lying on a sheet. I don’t paint many still lifes, but they were a specialty of my first painting teacher, my uncle, Israel Malamud.I painted it a few years ago, just after a traveling Cezanne show cape to Philadelphia. Susan and I have visited Cezanne’s studio in Arles and stood where he stood to paint his many paintings of Mont Sante Victoire.
It is thickly painted and the folds in the sheet and the diagonal that they set up are as much the subject of the painting as the apples.
