Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundation for the transition from 19th-century art to the revolutionary styles of the 20th century. Renowned for his exploration of form, colour, and composition, Cézanne sought to capture the essence of nature and the underlying structure of objects through his distinctive brushwork and use of geometric shapes. His innovative approach to depicting space and volume profoundly influenced Cubism, Fauvism, and modern art movements.
