Paul Cezanne

             Paul Cezanne ( 19 January 1839 - 22 October 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter
   whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a
   new and radically different world of art in the 20th century Cezanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes
   are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up
   to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cezanne's intense study of his subjects. Cezanne is said to have
   formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry,
   Cubism Both Matisse and Picasso are said to have remarked that Cezanne "is the father of us all."
