Paul Cezanne

1839-1906

Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose works are considered a bridge between the 19th century Impressionism and the 20th century's newer artistic movements like Cubism. Born in Aix-en-Provence, Cezanne's early works were rejected by the French academy, but he went on to develop a highly influential style, breaking from the Impressionist interest in capturing fleeting effects of light and color.

Cezanne is renowned for his intense study of his subjects, using geometric shapes and multiple viewpoints to build form through color. His still life paintings of apples, pitchers and other simple objects are considered among his greatest achievements, demonstrating his analytical approach to depicting mass, volume and perspective.
