Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French painter whose innovative approaches to form and colour greatly influenced the transition from 19th-century Impressionism to the modern art movements of the 20th century. Born in Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne grew up in a well-to-do family, with his father being a successful banker. Despite his father's initial disapproval, this financial stability allowed Cézanne to pursue his artistic ambitions. It was this early support that would shape his future as an artist.
Cézanne's early education included studying law at his father's behest, but his true passion lay in art. He moved to Paris in 1861, where he joined the Académie Suisse, a free studio for young artists. There, he met Camille Pissarro, who would become a close friend and mentor. Pissarro's influence encouraged Cézanne to adopt brighter colours and lighter brushstrokes, moving away from his early works' darker, more intense palettes.
Although associated with the Impressionists, Cézanne's influence extended far beyond this movement. He aimed to bring more structure and permanence to the style, seeking to "make of Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of museums." His focus on the underlying shapes within natural forms and exploration of the relationship between colours and light laid the groundwork for developing Cubism and other avant-garde movements.
Cézanne is best known for his paintings of Mont Sainte-Victoire, which showcase his method of creating form with colour and his analytical approach to nature. Other notable pieces are "The Card Players" and "The Bathers," which display his distinctive method of using repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes to create complex compositions.
Despite facing ridicule and incomprehension from contemporary critics, Cézanne's work was eventually recognised and celebrated. His later years were spent in his native Provence, where he continued to paint until he died in 1906. Today, Cézanne is revered as a pivotal figure in the history of modern art, having significantly influenced artists such as Picasso and Matisse.
