"Paul Cézanne (/seɪˈzæn/ say-ZAN, also UK: /sɪˈzæn/ siz-AN, US: /seɪˈzɑːn/ say-ZAHN, French: [pɔl sezan]; 19 January 1839 – 22 October 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century.
Cézanne is said to have formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century´s new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. Cézanne´s often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne´s intense study of his subjects. Both Matisse and Picasso are said to have remarked that Cézanne "is the father of us all"." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.11.2019)
