Who was Paul Cezanne? •  Paul Cézanne was a painter born on 19 January

1839 in the South of France (about 170 years ago) •  He was interested in art from an early age and

determined to become an artist even though his father wanted him to be a lawyer.

•  Friends in school with other artists – Zola, Pisarro who encouraged him to pursue his art.

Cezanne’s Art

•  Cezanne went to live and work in Paris for a while where he met many of the Impressionist painters and saw their work.

•  Cezanne liked how they worked outside and painted from direct observation, trying to record how light was different at different times of day.

•  Cezanne did not like how loose and unstructured Impressionist paintings were. – Cezanne wanted to make something more “solid and

durable.”

Cezanne and Geometry

•  As part of his interest in putting more structure into his paintings than the Impressionists had in theirs, Cezanne began to focus on finding the basic geometric shapes found in nature.

•  Cezanne said that everything in the natural world takes the form of a few different basic geometric shapes – the cylinder, the sphere and the cube.

•  When he painted, he showed how geometric forms were found in nature.

Cezanne and Cubist Perspective •  Cezanne was also the first painter to begin to think about the idea of

showing objects from different points of view in the same painting. •  Cubism shows objects from all points of view at once, as though you

are looking at an object while standing in 10 different places at one time.

•  Cubists wanted to represent what artists knew to be there, and not only what he or she could see at a certain moment, from a certain place.

•  Cézanne's explorations of geometric simplification and optical phenomena inspired other artists like Picasso to experiment with ever more complex multiple views of the same subject.

•  Cézanne sparked one of the most revolutionary areas of artistic enquiry of the 20th century, and one which affected the development of modern art.
