About the Item
French Mid Century oil on board still life by Charles Imbert. The painting is signed bottom left.
A colourful kitchen scene of bright red peppers in a dish on a table top waiting to be char grilled and prepared. The skillet pan is visible in the background as is a Kilner jar all ready to store the cooked vegetables. Imbert has cleverly used the touches of red in the tea cloth, the pan handle and an onion to echo the colour of the peppers. This carries our eye around the painting. The folds of the cloth are beautifully handled and add to the feeling of perspective and depth in the painting. The whole composition and the tilting of the table plane is very reminiscent of the still life paintings of Cezanne.
Paul Cézanne was born in 1839 in Aix-en-Provence in the south of France. By the second half of the 19th century, the region of Provence remained far removed from industrialization and avant-garde trends in Paris, the capital. Cezanne’s still lifes—with their olive jars, lemons, and coloroful printed cotton cloths—evoke a sense of place. In still life after still life he explored the correspondences among objects, searching for harmony and balance in form and colour. Nothing seems random, and nothing was: Cézanne constantly rearranged these objects from his studio into different combinations and compositions, playing with multiple viewpoints.
In addition to small sculptures, household objects, and furniture, Cézanne was also drawn to fruit, which often appears freshly picked in his paintings. He confided to a friend that "they [fruits] love having their portraits done. . . . They exhale their message with their scent. They reach you with all their smells and tell you about the fields they’ve left, the rain that made them grow, the dawns they watched. When I’m outlining the skin of a lovely peach with soft touches of paint, or a sad old apple, I catch a glimpse in the reflections they exchange of . . . the same love of the sun, the same recollection of the dew, a freshness." (Quoted in Joachim Gasquet, Cézanne: A Memoir with Conversations.) Sometimes one wonders how these rounded objects didn't roll off Cézanne’s table. But in constructing his still lifes, Cézanne wished to showcase the objects themselves and would tilt the plane towards the viewer so we can get a better look.
