Paul Cézanne

Artist

Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was born in Aix-en-Provence, the son of a hat dealer who became a banker, and was a school friend of the writer Émile Zola. In Paris he struggled for years; working with Camille Pissarro at Pontoise in the 1870s taught him to paint from nature, and he showed with the Impressionists in 1874 and 1877. He then withdrew more and more to Provence, where he painted the same subjects again and again, Mont Sainte-Victoire, card players, bathers and apples, building them up from planes of colour into solid, almost architectural forms. That approach led directly to Cubism and modern art. We print five of his works, including Boy in a Red Vest (1888) and two still lifes of apples from the Art Institute of Chicago.
