Cézanne

I am inspired by Paul Cézanne.

Cézanne exhibited in the first (1874) and third (1877) Impressionist Exhibitions before severing his ties almost entirely with the group. He found the Impressionist dissolution of form to be sensation without structure.

Since the rupture, Paul Cézanne dedicated his entire career to the pursuit of coherence.

Retreating to isolation in Aix-en-Provence, he worked alone to analyze the underlying geometry of nature. Staring at Mont Sainte-Victoire for decades, he became the solitary bridge between Impressionism and Cubism.
