| Eduoard Manet, The Lemon, 1880 |
The most striking aspect of the painting is Manet's use of colors.
Alfred Stevens had this to say about The Lemon "So, near the end of his life, here is Manet's lemon in its simplest form, an occasion for gray and yellow harmony, an object of pure painting. Any painter who can't conjure up a lemon on a Japanese plate is no fine colorist." The simplicity combined with the striking colors of The Lemon make it a fine choice for this edition of Pomiculture.
