“The pear is a celebrated fruit for many artists. Pears symbolize fertility and bear a resemblance to the classical female form. Artists claim much to love about pears: their variety of color, their subtle and curvaceous shape, how they lean toward or away. And those stems! Words cannot describe the pert salute of a jaunty stem atop a luscious pear.”

Quote from Barbara Kacicek (1957- ), in response to my inquiry about why so many artists paint pears (04/30/2015).
