It would be difficult to overestimate the impact of Paul Cezanne’s works on the histories of French, European and American art. Pablo Picasso described him as a “mother hovering over” and Henri Matisse called him a “father to us.” However, it wasn’t until the turn of the 20th century that the significance of the French painter’s works began to be recognized. Cézanne is now considered a leading figure in the post-impressionist movement and a profound influence on the course of modern art.

Paul Cézanne (19 January 1839 – 22 October 1906)
French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavor 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 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 recognizable. He used 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. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.
