More about this artwork

Édouard Vuillard's "Quatre Pommes" (circa 1889-90) presents a delightful and intimate glimpse into the simple elegance of everyday objects through the lens of the Post-Impressionist movement. This serene still life captures four apples resting gently on a textured surface, possibly a tablecloth or a slanted platform, accentuated by shadows and soft light.Vuillard, known for his intimate interiors and subdued palette, employs a rich composition of greens, pinks, and touches of blue to bring a lively yet harmonious energy to the painting. The broad, confident brushstrokes suggest the texture of the apple skins and the tactile quality of the cloth. Each apple, uniquely characterized by its individual blend of colors and painterly marks, stands out against the subtle, muted background.This work is not just a depiction of fruit; it is an exploration of color, form, and light. Vuillard's attention to the quiet beauty of mundane subjects invites viewers to contemplate the tranquility and aesthetic pleasure found in daily life.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.

Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
