Tossup

The reappearance of a blue-and-black fabric in paintings by this artist is analyzed through diary entries in a 2022 book by T. J. Clark. Meyer Schapiro wrote an essay linking this artist’s still-lifes to his frustrated sexual desires. The influence of (10[1])this artist’s watercolor technique on his late-career oil paintings is examined in a formalist monograph on the “Study of his Development” (10[1])by Roger Fry. (10[3])This artist’s use of “primordial perception” is contrasted with (10[1])Leonardo’s vision in an essay by Maurice Merleau-Ponty (10[2])(“mer-LOH pawn-TEE”) on this (10[1])artist’s (10[3])“Doubt.” (10[3])After being fictionalized (10[1])as Claude Lantier, this artist fell out with Émile Zola. Before (10[1])an (10[1])exhibit mounted by Ambroise Vollard, this artist said “With an apple I will astonish (-5[1])Paris.” For 10 points, name this (10[1])Post-Impressionist known for his still-lifes (10[1])and landscapes of Mont (10[1])Sainte-Victoire. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])
