Still Life: Apples and Pears in a Round Basket, 1872, The Henry and Rose Pearlman Collection, on long-term loan to the Princeton University Art Museum.
One of Pissarro’s rare still lifes, this work dates from the year after his move to Pontoise, a village north of Paris. Cézanne, who regarded Pissarro as a father figure, also moved there in 1872, and the two painters often worked side by side outdoors, experimenting with the Impressionist techniques pioneered by some of their friends. Although this still life was painted indoors, it exhibits Pissarro’s use of visible brushstrokes and the colorful cast shadows that are among the hallmarks of the Impressionist style.
