The House with the
Cracked Walls Oil on canvas, 80 x 64.1 cm, by Paul Cezanne, 1892–94 Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City |
||||||||||
| A small ochre house split by a jagged, ominous crack stands against the rocky hillside, its solid form set beneath a heavy blue sky. Vulnerability and instability turn the scene into a symbol of fragility and restlessness, with allusions to isolation and decay. |
