Paul+Cezanne







Born in Jan. 19, 1839, Aix-en-Provence died in. Oct. 22, 1906, Aix-en-Provence. Cezanne was a French painter and one of the greatest of the Postimpressionists, whose works and ideas were influential in the aesthetic development of many 20th-century. artists and art movements, especially Cubism. Cézanne's art, misunderstood and discredited by the public during most of his life, grew out of impression and eventually challenged all the conventional values of painting in the 19th century through its insistence on personal expression and on the integrity of the painting itself. He has been called the father of modern painting. One of his famous quotes //"May I repeat what I told you here: treat nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything brought into proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth... lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth. But nature for us men is more depth than surface, whence the need to introduce into our light vibrations, represented by the reds and yellows, a sufficient amount of blueness to give the feel of air." // ||
