Paul Cézanne (19 January 1839 - 22
October 1906)
was a French artist and Post - Impressionist painter
whose work laid the foundations of the transition from
the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour 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. |
