Further details
Émile Bernard est l'un des talents les plus précoces de la génération symboliste.
À peine âgé de vingt ans, ce jeune artiste accompli fait preuve d’une connaissance parfaite de la leçon de Cezanne et des grands maîtres, mais aussi d’un tempérament personnel affirmé. Autant pour rendre hommage au maître aixois que pour marquer sa différence, Émile Bernard consacre une grande part de sa carrière au thème de la nature morte. Le choix des couleurs et leurs associations subtiles présents dans cette composition révèlent la sensibilité impressionniste de l’artiste. Cette capacité du jeune artiste à allier modernité et classicisme fait l'admiration de Van Gogh qui, depuis Arles où il était installé, entretenait une relation d’amitié avec Émile Bernard et Paul Gauguin.
Émile Bernard was one of the most precocious talents of the Symbolist generation. At just 20 years old, this accomplished young artist showed a perfect understanding of Cezanne's teachings and that of the great masters, as well as personal self- assurance. Both paying tribute to the Provencal masters and in order to distinguish himself, Émile Bernard chose to focus on still lives during his early career. The colour palette and superb associations achieved by Bernard in this composition reveal his Impressionist sensibility.
The artist's capacity to ally modernity with Classicism had caught the admiration of Van Gogh, who lived in Arles and was very close friends with Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin during this period.
