This may be the most expensive plate of fruits ever (auction price HK$200 Millions). This masterpiece is created by Cezanne, the father of modern art. Enlightened by oriental arts and philosophies, Cezanne emphasizes representation in realism, the “spirit” of the objects is the main focus. Cezanne’s new thinking started a major movement in Western arts and has inspired the artist after him.
