More about this artwork

Title of Artwork: Pelicans (1877-1880) Artist: Paul CézannePaul Cézanne's sketch titled "Pelicans" reveals the artist’s adept hand and his exploration of natural forms through art. Dated between 1877 and 1880, this delicate pencil drawing on a beige paper emerges both faint and fluid, portraying the gentle essence of its subjects.The artwork captures what appears to be a trio of pelicans engaged in a moment of rest. The lines, though simple, almost whimsically trace the contours of the birds' substantial beaks and broad, plump bodies. Each stroke contributes to an impression of softness and movement, despite the static medium.The central pelican, displayed with a slight tilt, draws immediate attention. Its beak is elegantly elongated, suggesting the distinctive feature of the species. The surrounding pelicans blend subtly into the background, their forms delineated by lighter, less assertive strokes that create a sense of depth and perspective.This sketch illustrates Cézanne’s skill in capturing the essence of living creatures with minimal, yet expressive lines. It not only reflects his ongoing fascination with the natural world but also demonstrates his pioneering contributions to the impressionist and post-impressionist movements.
