Features: Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), a representative painter of Post-Impressionism. He dedicated his life to pursuing expressive forms, innovating in the use of color and shaping art, earning the title "Father of Modern Painting." Cézanne's works are rich in color and possess a natural, full composition. His representative work, "The House of the Suicides," is simple yet powerful, conveying peace and stability. In his still-life painting, "Apples and Oranges," the arrangement of form and color is skillful, brimming with vitality.
Paul Cézanne's life was one of relentless research, contemplation, and labor as a painter before his easel. He was born on January 19, 1839, in the small town of Aix in the south of France. His father was a hat factory owner who later became a banker. Cézanne was born and raised in Aix, and it remained his lifelong home. During his youth, he studied in Paris, seeking role models, companions, and kindred spirits among the Louvre and the art circles. He never traveled far from his homeland, shielded by his affluent father, even escaping military service. After his father's death, he became the heir to a substantial fortune.
