Cezanne, Paul (1839-1906), French painter, born in the southern French town of Aix-en-Provence, January 19, 1839. Cezanne, son of a wealthy banker, was often called the father of modern art, who strove to develop an ideal synthesis of naturalistic representation and abstract pictorial order. Among the artists of his time, Cezanne perhaps has had the most profound effect on the art of the 20th century. He was the greatest single influence on both the French artist Henri Matisse, who admired his color, and the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, who developed Cezanne's planar compositional structure into the cubist style. During the greater part of his own lifetime, however, Cezanne was largely ignored, and he worked in isolation. He mistrusted critics, had few friends, and, until 1895, exhibited only occasionally. He was alienated even from his family, who found his behavior peculiar and failed to appreciate his revolutionary art. By the time of his death (in Aix on October 22, 1906) he had attained the status of a legendary figure. |
