Still Life with Lemon, Orange and Tomato by Paula Modersohn Becker

“Still Life with Lemon, Orange and Tomato”. Here, the triumphant bright colors convey a unique feeling of admiring the creation of nature.

What a perfect shape of orange and lemon, smells of citrus in the air, and the tomato is so red, as if it wants to say: “And I’m not worse, I am also very beautiful…”

A lemon solemnly reclines in the center on a plate that repeats its shades. It is as bright as the morning sun, under the rays of which it matured.

Everything is sunny in this picture, and a cheerful morning, and the upcoming joyful day. And how not to rejoice when there is such beauty around us, such generosity of nature and its stupid fantasy and perfection.

Under this sun, the talent of the artist flourishes from year to year. This is one of her early still lifes, most Paula wrote after her third trip to Paris in 1905. And no matter what they say about the influence of Paul Cézanne on her work, she herself in many ways approached this color scheme, and French painting only stimulated this process.
