This Cezanne still life has strange spaces - as do many of his still life paintings.As a student I didn't understand them so well but as I developed a better understanding of the geometry of painting I learned how to look at a Cezanne. I think it is better to see Cezanne's paintings in person - reproductions are fine once you have stood in front of the actual painting. When you give the paintings some time, the space and rhythm develop and areas of the painting that seemed at first glance to be very flat, open up. You can see some of the faint pencil lines I made when working on my study, I don't do that anymore and don't recommend it - you might make somebody mad at you. The copy is next (-> #2)
