Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French painter.
Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism.
Cézanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, colour, tone, composition and draftsmanship
The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.
The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.
