Caravaggio to Matisse · Masterpieces that transformed the genre
From the Fruit Basket to Sunflowers, famous still lifes show how ordinary objects changed the history of painting.
The fame of certain still lifes lies in their ability to redefine the genre. Caravaggio isolates a basket of fruits with a radicality that makes each stained leaf an event. Chardin transforms The Ray and the objects of cooking in material theater. Cézanne uses apples, oranges, draperies and tableware to question perspective and prepare cubism. Van Gogh charges sunflowers with color, friendship and artistic identity. Manet, Monet, Matisse and Gris continue this revolution by reducing, intensifying or fragmenting the table. These works are therefore not famous because their subject is exceptional, but because they make the ordinary unforgettable. There selection "Famous Still Lifes" notably compares Basket of Fruits - Caravaggio and Vase with fifteen sunflowers - Vincent van Gogh. His reading favors the story.
The great still life does not simply copy things: it modifies the way we see an apple, a flower, a tablecloth or an object placed in front of us.
