Cézanne
Post-Impressionist master painter
Cézanne refers to Paul Cézanne (1839–1906), a French painter whose work bridged Impressionism and Cubism.
His geometric treatment of form and color—particularly in still lifes, landscapes, and portraits—profoundly influenced 20th-century art.
The painting has a Cézanne-like quality.
Artists and critics invoke his name as shorthand for foundational modernism.
