Paul Cézanne
Paul Cézanne (January 19, 1839 - October 22, 1906) was a
French oil painting artist and
Post-Impressionist
painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the
19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and
radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne can
be said to form the bridge between late 19th century
Impressionism and
the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry,
Cubism. The line
attributed to both
Henri Matisse and
Picasso that
Cézanne "...is the father of us all..." cannot be easily dismissed.
Cézanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, colour,
composition and draftsmanship. His often repetitive, sensitive and
exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly
recognisable. Using planes of colour and small brushstrokes that
build up to form complex fields, at once both a direct expression
of the sensations of the observing eye and an abstraction from
observed nature, Cézanne's paintings convey intense study of his
subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the
complexity of human visual perception.
