Description
The painting "Apples - 1919" by Félix Vallotton is a masterpiece that captures the essence of post -impressionist art through its simplicity and exquisite detail attention.

In "Manzanas - 1919", Vallotton offers a meticulous study of a group of apples, placed in an apparently casual way on a flat surface. The austerity of compositional elements becomes its greatest strength, allowing each apple to be a unique entity and, however, part of a collective harmony. The organization of apples does not follow a predefined pattern and this apparent dissonance creates a subtle dynamism, which invites the viewer to explore every detail, each reflection of light and each shadow.
The colors in the paint are another notable aspect. Vallotton uses a restricted palette, predominantly the warm and terrible tones that provide a feeling of realism and authenticity. The intense red of apples is complemented with subtle touches of green and yellow, which achieves a truthful representation of fruit in different maturity states. This use of color not only serves to highlight apples, but also gives the work a warmth and proximity that make the viewer feel almost the texture and aroma of portrayed fruits.
Vallotton's approach in the play of lights and shadows is equally masterful. The light seems to come from a single side source, which projects delicate shadows and accurately defines the shapes of apples. This technique allows you to create a palpable volume within the two -dimensional confines of the canvas. The shadow under apples adds a subtle depth that gives life to the scene, without disturbing the simplicity and visual clarity that characterizes the work.
Mainly known for their paintings And engravings of figures and landscapes, Vallotton shows in this still life The extension of your ability to capture and transcend everyday reality.
