Paul Cezanne

Origins

Paul Cezanne was a French post-impressionist painter who lived from 1839 to 1906. He is known for his unconventional perspective and use of geometric forms. Cezanne's work laid the foundation for the transition from 19th-century art to a new and radically different 20th-century art. He is famous for his still-life paintings, landscapes, and portraits, where he explored the relationship between color, form, and space. Cezanne's unique approach to composition and his emphasis on structure and volume greatly influenced modern art.
