Paradoxically, the strength of these works derives from their complete lack of artifice and from Cezanne's depiction of the fundamental meaning of the objects, fruit and flowers. He once said: 'I want to astonish Paris with an apple.' He invested in these works, especially in the fruit, all his virtuosity and all his love, finding in them a universal significance.
