Apple juice (2018) Peinture par Yuriy Sidorenko

The apple is widely used as a symbol of fertility, love, marriage, spring, joy, youth, longevity or immortality.
But in many icons and paintings, the Infant Christ is already holding an apple, symbolizing his future mission as a redeemer for the sins of all mankind. The apple is salvation here.
The culture of the twentieth century makes its own adjustments to the symbolism of the fruit-hero. A noble gardener in life, Claude Monet painted a blooming apple orchard - the personification of fullness and thirst for life. About two hundred still lifes and a lot of apples on the table - this is Cézanne's contribution to the "apple theme". Having once said “I will surprise Paris with an apple!”, The artist kept his promise: he has a simple fruit - a symbol of a new vision in art.
The popular culture of our time does not disdain apple symbolism, using “mixes” of many motives known to us. Often it can be found in advertising, as well as in the form of emblems of companies and brands. There is no need to look far: the most recognizable Apple logo in the world - the apple - is a successful synthesis of the symbol of knowledge and prosperity. By the way, the lines of the famous logo are designed "after Picasso". Well, everything is repeated in the art world, even the apple.
