This will surprise you!
Yes, it is a copy, more or less, of one of Cezanne's famous,
'Apples in a Still life'. I did it about three years ago to
experience his composition and paint handling. I enjoyed it
and kept it on view in my upstairs studio.
One
day a young lady came with a friend of hers who already owned a
few of my paintings. The lady said to me, "I love that painting
Gabor!" I said, "You know it's a copy of a Cezanne?".
To which she replied, "Yes and is it for sale?" I was
speechless (like for a second or two) then I said: "For you my
dear of course!!"
She bought it there and then and since has bought a few more!
