Plate 4 Paul Cezanne The Green Pot, 1885-87 Watercolor and graphite on paper, 22 x 24.7 cm (8 11 /i6 x 9 3 /4 in.) Paris, Musee du Louvre his famous watercolor from the mid-i88os T of a little green-glazed Provencal jug suggests some of the anthropomorphism, in this case a kind of human bravado, that animates even Cezanne's most modest still-life subjects. Its roundness and the configuration of its two handles suggest a complacent little figure, with belly outthrust and arm akimbo, standing singularly against the studio wall for all the world like a human model. Further, it represents Cezanne's earlier, more traditional method of penciling and modeling an object and then filling out its volume in watercolor. 33 THE BIOGRAPHY OF OBJECTS
Plate 5 Paul Cezanne Jacket on a Chair, 1890-92 Watercolor and graphite on paper, 47.5 x 30.5 cm (i8 11 /ie x 12 in.) Private collection ith its empty, crumpled garment,Vac/ret Won a Chair is even more blatant in suggesting human inhabitation by dint of its very absence than Cezanne's sketches of empty chairs. At the same time it situates that uncanny effect of human presence-in-absence in the studio, as a studio exercise. It consists mostly of reiterated pencil line and shading, supplemented and colored in with faint washes of watercolor. 34 CEZANNE IN THE STUDIO
