Paul Cézanne (French painter)

Paul Cézanne was a French artist known for bridging Impressionism and Cubism, transforming modern art. His innovative approach involved reducing natural forms into geometric shapes and exploring multiple perspectives within a single painting. Cézanne’s focus on structure and volume helped establish foundational techniques that influenced future artists like Picasso and Matisse. His work often depicts landscapes, still lifes, and village scenes with a deliberate use of color, brushwork, and form, emphasizing the underlying geometry of the objects he painted. Cézanne’s pioneering vision laid the groundwork for 20th-century modern art by challenging traditional representations and exploring new ways to see and portray the world.
