Paul Cézanne
Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was one of the greatest French painters of Post-Impressionism. He was known as the "Master of Aix" because of how he portrayed the beauty of nature in Aix-en-Provence, his ancestral home in the South of France. His artistic style of repetitive and exploratory brushstrokes made his works recognizable and paved the way for modern art and Cubism. Cezanne transitioned the art world and influenced many of the 20th-century artists. Cézanne is renowned for his unique approach to color and form, which laid the groundwork for modern art. Born in Aix-en-Provence, France, Cézanne initially pursued law before fully committing to painting. His work evolved from the Romanticism and Realism of his early years to a more distinct style characterized by bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and an innovative use of geometric shapes. Cézanne's persistent exploration of visual perception and his techniques profoundly influenced the development of Cubism and abstract art. Notable works include "The Card Players," "Mont Sainte-Victoire," and his still lifes of apples and oranges. Despite facing initial rejection and criticism, Cézanne is now celebrated as a pivotal figure bridging 19th-century Impressionism and 20th-century modernism.
