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.

Real Reviews from Real Teachers & Parents

See Why Everyone Loves Meet The Masters

Meet the masters continues to be one of the most successful programs at our school, with the largest consistent group of parent volunteers. Our students recognize art by “the masters” when they see it around town or on family trips. Students that call themselves “bad at art” have been delighted when they see the beautiful art they can create. Thank you for all you do to make this curriculum glow and shine. We love it and are so thrilled to continue to use it at our school!
