Feb 29, 2016 3 MINUTES

"It's a type of experience that some painters have: a need to ... get at the essence of what painting is, even if it's just using an apple."

Artist Maureen Gallace reflects on Paul Cézanne's still life paintings with apples in this episode of The Artist Project—an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.
