1+1=1(x2) Cézanne


Paul Cezanne
Fleurs et fruits c.1880


Fleurs dans un vase bleu   c.1880



Musée de l'Orangerie

These two paintings are fragments of a still life cut apart at an unknown date probably by
famed gallerist Ambroise Vollard.
Each was acquired separately with an interval of many years by Paul Guillaume and by his wife without the collectors' knowledge of their common origin. 

Twice as nice or sacrilege ?
