Did you know?
Paul Cézanne was known for his rigorous and lengthy painting sessions, especially when it came to his still lifes. He would often arrange his fruit and study it from various angles, sometimes for days or weeks, allowing him to explore form and space in a revolutionary way. This meticulous approach often meant the fruit would spoil before he finished, leading him to occasionally replace them or famously ask his models not to touch the 'models'!
