Cézanne

Paul Cézanne was a French painter known for bridging 19th-century Impressionism and 20th-century Modernism. He focused on capturing the essence of scenes through careful use of color, form, and perspective, often painting the same subject multiple times to explore different viewpoints. Cézanne emphasized the underlying structure of objects, which influenced the development of Cubism and abstract art. His work reveals a thoughtful approach to composition and a desire to depict the world more fundamentally, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern art.
