Biography of French painter Paul Cézanne
Paul Cézanne is born in Aix-en-Provence Jan 19, 1839. He is a French painter and always called as a father of modern arts. He is famous for his landscapes and still-life paintings.
His father, Louis-Auguste Cézanne, was hardheaded businessman and banker whose standards of value were based primarily on money and accumulation.
From 1859 to 1861 Cézanne studied law in Aix and developed his early love of art by taking drawing lessons.
His canvases from 1861 to 1871, mostly portraits, are characterized by dark tones, thick paint, and strong lighting.
His lack of immediate success plus his father’s continuing disapproval of the unrespectable profession of painting, no doubt combined to make him think of giving up painting altogether.
Later, Camille Pissarro convinced Cézanne to adopt the broken brushwork and light palette of the impressionists.
Cézanne’s paintings were shown in the first exhibition of the Salon des Refuse’s in 1863, which displayed works not accepted by the jury of the official Paris Salon.
He claimed that his ambition was to "make of impressionism something solid and durable like the art of museums." By 1883 the artist was conveying mass and volume through a series of hatched strokes.
One of the painting is The Bather. It shows central male bather with his hands placed upon his waist and his head angled downwards towards the ground.
Cézanne exhibited little in his lifetime and worked in increasing artistic isolation, remaining in the South of France, in his beloved Provence, far from Paris.
Cezanne is thought of as a postimpressionist artist because he added new ideas to the impressionist style of painting.
On October 22 he died 1906, having nearly realized an ambition that he professed to friends on numerous occasions: to die while painting.
Paul Cézanne regarded as one of the fathers of modern art, he was an important figure in the development of 20th century art and a inspiration to Cubists and painters of the abstract.
