The still life, which suited both Cézanne's character and his method of work, kept the artist's attention throughout his work. Specifically, this painting contains an element borrowed from Manet's work, a knife placed at an angle to add depth to the image. In addition to the knife, Cézanne also uses other objects that give the image the impression of fullness and volume, such as a bottle or a plate. Compared to later still lifes, Still Life with Onions and Bottles is emptier and gives us a sense of airiness and space. The background is very neutral and overall the picture has relatively muted and autumn colors.

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906). French Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations for the connection between the concept of 19th century paintings and the more radical 20th century ( especially Kubism). Picasso and Mattise even said that Cézanne is ‘the father of us all’. Cézanne used bright colours and small and delicate brush strokes. Here, you can find most of his later works - mostly studies and still lifes. Cézanne was interested in the simplification of natural forms to their geometric essence. He focused on perspective so that he would provoke a new aesthetic experience in the audience.
