About Paul Cézanne (1839-1906)

Paul Cézanne was a French artist who is considered a pioneer of the transition from Impressionism to modern art. Born in 1839, he is known for his innovative approach to still life and landscape painting, which combined the loose brushwork of Impressionism with a greater emphasis on structure and form. Cézanne's work was characterized by his use of color and his innovative treatment of space and depth. He was a major influence on the development of Cubism and other modern art movements, and his work continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the evolution of modern art.

Today, Cézanne's paintings can be found in major museums around the world and are highly sought after by collectors. He is regarded as one of the greatest painters of the 19th century and continues to be celebrated for his unique vision and contributions to art history.
