1846 -1903 · European realism and modernity
Apples, tablecloths, rocks and forests become for Schuch the field of demanding research on color relationships, matter and the construction of the painting.
Born in Vienna in 1846, Carl Schuch led a traveling life between Munich, Venice, the Alps, the Netherlands and Paris. Close to Wilhelm Leibl and attentive to Courbet, Manet, Monet and Cézanne, he worked slowly, took up his paintings and destroyed those he considered insufficient. His landscapes and especially his late still lifes do not only describe objects: they confront colors, weights, surfaces and light in a painting located between realism and modernity. The "Carl Schuch" selection notably compares Still Life with Apples.
Schuch paints the isolated object less than the exact tension between an apple, a fabric, a shadow and the space that connects them.
