About this picture
Fireplace Tongs and Poker is a public-domain drawing by Paul Cezanne, dated 1887/1892. Graphite on wove paper. The file comes from National Gallery of Art.
“Fireplace Tongs and Poker” (1887/1892) is built the way Cézanne built landscape, still life, and portrait: small planes of color, often the mountain Sainte-Victoire or a few ordinary objects.
About the artist
Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French painter who rebuilt landscape, still life, and portrait out of small planes of color. Later artists treated that construction as a start toward Cubism.
