Still-Life with Apples and Candlestick

Gauguin’s Polish disciple Slewinski moved from Pont-Aven to Le Pouldu and then to Doelan between 1889 and 1916. This still life in the style of Paul Gauguin testifies to the master’s influence. Flat, single-colour areas heavily outlined, a bird’s-eye perspective and simplified forms all clearly evoke the Pont-Aven aesthetic in this painting dedicated to Marie Schewtzoff.
