Paul Cézanne
Originally from the island of St Thomas, Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) was the oldest painter among the Impressionist collective and the only one to exhibit at all eight exhibitions. Like his contemporaries, Pissarro captured landscapes and individuals in their natural settings using quick painting techniques. He also acted as an influential teacher for important artists, including <anchor>Paul Cézanne</anchor>. In addition, Pissarro was one of the few Impressionist artists who immersed himself in the subsequent Post-Impressionist movement, incorporating approaches like Pointillism into his work.

# Why Post-Impressionist Painter Paul Cézanne Is Known as the “Father of Modern Art”

In the late 19th century, [Post-Impressionism](https://mymodernmet.com/post-impressionism/) emerged in France. Unified by a subjective approach to painting, this [major art movement](https://mymodernmet.com/important-art-movements/) was pioneered by [Vincent van Gogh](https://mymodernmet.com/starry-night-van-gogh/) and **Paul Cézanne**, a [French painter](https://mymodernmet.com/famous-french-painters/) whose work ischaracterized by painterly brushstrokes, an avant-garde approach to perspective, and a vivid color palette.

In addition to his role as an important Post-Impressionist, Cézanne is celebrated as the forefather of [Fauvism](https://mymodernmet.com/henri-matisse-modern-art/) and a precursor to [Cubism](https://mymodernmet.com/what-is-cubism-art/). Given his prominence in these groundbreaking genres, Cézanne is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of [modern art](https://mymodernmet.com/what-is-modern-art-definition/).

## Who is Cézanne?

Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence, a commune in the south of France, in 1839. While he lived and worked primarily in this region, he also spent time in Paris, where he exhibited with [Impressionist artists](https://mymodernmet.com/impressionist-artists-list/) like [Claude Monet](https://mymodernmet.com/claude-monet-paintings/) and [Mary Cassatt](https://mymodernmet.com/mary-cassatt-biography/).

While he worked closely with these figures, he did not consider himself an Impressionist. Unlike the Impressionists, Cézanne preferred painting in a studio to working _en plein air_. He rejected their seemingly spontaneous brushwork and favored organized, orderly compositions. He also was not interested in capturing fleeting _impressions_ of his subjects—a key characteristic of Impressionism—and focused on symbolism and substance over style. “I wanted to make out of Impressionism something solid and lasting like the art of the museums,” he explained ( [_Joachim Gasquet's Cézanne: A Memoir With Conversations_](https://amzn.to/2ruCZdj)).

As a result of this artistic approach, Cézanne developed a one-of-a-kind aesthetic distinguishable from that of his contemporaries.

## Aesthetic

### “Constructive” Brushwork

Early in his career, Cézanne used palette knives to produce heavily textured paintings. After working alongside the Impressionists, however, he was inspired to embrace new methods of paint application.

![Cezanne Painting of a Pyramid of Skulls](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 750 599"></svg>)

“Pyramid of Skulls,” c. 1901 (Photo: [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Paul_C%C3%A9zanne,_Pyramid_of_Skulls,_c._1901.jpg) \[Public Domain\]

Like the Impressionists, he adopted a “broken brushwork” technique. Unlike the quick, sketch-like brushstrokes characteristic of Impressionism, however, Cézanne employed “ **constructive strokes**“—meticulously arranged marks that that worked together to create geometric forms. As Cézanne avoided the use of dark lines, he relied on this contrasting brushwork to “define the outlines of objects when their points of contact are tenuous and delicate.”

### Bright Color

In addition to painterly brushstrokes, Cézanne's paintings are also characterized by a recognizable color palette. While many of his early works are rendered in somber tones, he eventually adopted a preference for planes of saturated hues.

This tonal treatment is particularly pronounced in his **landscapes**, like his radiant views of _Mont Sainte-Victoire_. In this sun-baked series, Cézanne reduces the mountains, trees, and Mediterranean homes of the Provençal countryside to fragmented-yet-harmonious blocks of color. These polychromatic planes add a sense of depth to each panoramic depiction and showcase Cézanne's avant-garde approach to representing nature. “I was pleased with myself when I discovered that sunlight could not be reproduced,” he explained, according to _[Renoir. His Life and Work](https://amzn.to/2KO6yP2)_. “It had to be represented by something else…by color.”

### Skewed Perspective

In his paintings, Cézanne often rejected realistic portrayals of space in favor of more creative compositions. This is particularly evident in his **still-life** depictions, which frequently feature fruit, bottles, and other everyday objects balanced on tilted, topsy-turvy tabletops.

![Paul Cezanne Paintings Paul Cezanne Still Life Who is Cezanne](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 750 604"></svg>)

In these paintings, Cézanne played with perspective and flattened surfaces to show the same arrangement from multiple angles at once. He achieved this by emphasizing each individual object rather than the scene as a whole, culminating in eye-catching, off-kilter compositions. This principle of distortion would later play a major role in Cubism, as artist Georges Braque noted in 1957: “The hard-and-fast rules of perspective which it succeeded in imposing on art were a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress; Paul Cézanne and after him [Picasso](https://mymodernmet.com/pablo-picasso-periods/) and myself can take a lot of credit for this.”

“Still Life with Milk Jug and Fruit,” c. 1900 (Photo: [National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.](https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.53123.html) via [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Paul_C%C3%A9zanne_-_Nature_morte_avec_du_lait_et_des_fruits_(National_Gallery_of_Art).jpg) \[Public Domain\])

When paired with his analytical brushstrokes and vivid color palette, it is this unique approach to perspective that would eventually lead Picasso to call Cézanne “the father of us all.”

## Significant Works

### _The Card Players_

During the early 1890s, Cézanne produced a series of five paintings called _The Card Players_. Although these works focus on similar subject matter, they differ slightly in the number of figures and stylistic approaches.

_The Card Players_ painting from 1894–1895, for example, is one of three canvases that depict **two card players** at a table. Due to its later completion, this piece in particular contains more “constructive” brushwork—foreshadowing the quintessential style of Cézanne's **later years**.

### _The Bathers_

Cézanne's **magnum opus**, which is also widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of all modern art, is called _The Bathers_. This large oil painting spans about 7 x 8 feet and depicts a group of naked women relaxing by a lake. Cézanne painted several versions of the subject throughout his career and spent seven years working on the most famous representation, which was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1906.

![Paul Cezanne Paintings Paul Cezanne Still Life Who is Cezanne](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 750 627"></svg>)

This grand painting recalls the works of classical masters such as [Titian](https://mymodernmet.com/titian-paintings/) and Rubens in its content. Like them, Cézanne captured an atmosphere of **romantic leisure**. However, to stay true to his own artistic point of view, the Post-Impressionist abstracted the figures and background in strong, geometrical shapes.
