Cezanne
Aix-en-Provence painter
Cézanne refers to Paul Cézanne (1839–1906), a French painter whose work bridged Impressionism and Cubism.
His distinctive treatment of form and color—particularly in still lifes, landscapes, and bathers—profoundly influenced modern art.
Mont Sainte-Victoire and his card players series are among his most recognized works.
Artists often invoke Cézanne when discussing the structural foundations of painting.
