In The Basket of Apples the objects have lost something of their individual character a bottle and fruit and almost become cylinders and spheres.
Cézanne captured the solidity of each object by juxtaposing color patches. He also depicts a table from different perspectives. The artist became obsessed with multi-perspective approach to the canvas. The right side of the table is not in the same plane as the left side of the table, which was a stylized method used by Cézanne to incorporate the differences of viewpoint into an impressionistic still life.
The biscuits on a plate are carefully stacked but they too seem animate, as of straining to take in the drama unfolding before them.
