Stats life
Cezanne's Nature Morte au Compotier is a still life featuring a fruit dish--a compotier--with a circular lip.
The notorious lip of the compotier would have been a case in point.
The critical response to Cezanne's 1895 exhibition is an object lesson in the optics of art appreciation: the marked eccentricities, epitomized by the lip of the compotier, were seen as evidence of Cezanne's Provencal authenticity.

Picasso staggered ftom style to style, but in a way Braque never stopped being a Cubist: And perhaps the Cubist painting became its own prototype for an artist whose life was spent increasingly in his own studio, where nothing was more familiar -not the rickety table, the guitar or the compotier -than their representations in Cubist works.
