Read a bit about Paul Cezanne
Paul Cézanne was the son of a prosperous banker in Aix-de-Provence, who
studied painting in Paris. He embraced Impressionism, and like Renoir,
strived to paint interpretations of his own visual experiences. He created
1300 paintings in his career, all which retained a sense mystery, as none of
them were dated and very few were signed. His first few Impressionist
exhibition from 1874 to 1877, were criticized, which discouraged Cézanne
from avidly displaying his works. He moved to his family home and spent most
of his time isolated there except for a few visits to Paris and
Ile-de-France. It wasn’t until the late 1890’s that Cézanne finally received
recognition for his work when his influence was noted in the paintings of
younger artists. Many of these artists observed Cézanne’s tendencies to be
rude, nervous, and generally disagreeable. In 1920, he abandoned
impressionism altogether and incorporated more elements of design in his
work. Because of this shift, Cézanne is thought to be a precursor to
abstract art. Read more here
