Paul Cezanne19 January
1839 – 22 October 1906
Cezanne was a French artist and Post-Impressionist
painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century
conception of artistic endeavour to a radically different world of art in 20th
century. Cezanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism
and the early 20th century's new line of artistic called Cubism.
Cezanne's work demonstrates a mastery of
design, composition, color and draftsmanship. His often repetitive, sensitive
and exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and highly recognizable.
He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form fields,
at once both a direct expression of the sensations of the observing eye and an
abstraction from nature. The paintings convey Cezanne's intense study of his
subjects, a searching gaze to deal with the complexity of human visual
perception.
His
early work is often concerned with the figure in the landscape which is imaginatively painted. Later in his career, he
became more interested in working from direct observation and gradually
developed a light and airy painting style that was to influence the
Impressionists enormously. Nevertheless, in Cezanne's mature work we see the
development of a solidified, almost architectural style of painting. Throughout
his life he struggled to develop an authentic observation by the most accurate
method of representing it in paint that he could find. To this end, he
structurally ordered whatever he perceived into simple forms and colour planes.
His statement "I want to make of impressionism something solid and lasting
like the art in the museums" underscored his desire to unite observation
of nature with the permanence of classical composition.
One day, Cezanne was caught
in a storm while working in the field. Only after working for two hours under a
downpour did he decide to go home but on the way home he collapsed. He was
taken home by a passing driver. His old housekeeper rubbed his arms and legs to
restore the circulation and he regained consciousness. On the following day, he
intended to continue working, but he fainted again.The model with whom he was working called for
help; he was put to bed, and he never left it again. He died a few days later,
on 22 October 1906. He died of pneumonia and was buried at the old cemetery in his beloved
hometown of Aix-en-Provence
