Cezanne | When the colors are rich to a certain extent, the shapes become

 Paul Cezanne

（1839.1.19 —1906.10.22）

Famous French painter, leader of Post-Impressionism

Since the end of the 19th century, it has been called by modern Western painters

Father of Art Nouveau

The Father of Modern Art

The Father of Modeling

His pursuit and expression of the sense of volume of objects

Opened up the idea for "Cubism"

Cézanne attaches great importance to the authenticity of color vision

Its uniqueness in "objectively" observing natural colors is greatly different from

Painters who used to observe natural colors "rationally" or "subjectively"

Paul Cezanne

Important painters between Impressionism and Cubism

“  The colors are rich to a certain extent

The shape is formed  ."

Cézanne often repeated this phrase when he talked about his paintings

In the group of Impressionist innovators, he carried out a personal artistic revolution

If we say that Renoir, Degas or Monet, these impressionist painters

If the momentary impression of moving things is fixed on the canvas

Cézanne explored the expression of nature in a permanent and unchanging form.

If the works of impressionist painters blurred the outlines,

Cézanne restored or re-established the contours.

Most of his works reflect his own artistic ideas.

Expressing solid geometric sense, ignoring the texture and modeling accuracy of objects

Emphasize the heavy and steady sense of volume and the overall relationship between objects

Sometimes giving up individual independence and authenticity in order to find harmony in various relationships

January 19, 1839

Born in Aix-en-Provence, France

He is the descendant of small craftsmen and merchants in Piedmont.

He first attended primary school and St. Joseph's School

Thanks to his father's good fortune, he went from being a hat shop owner to a bank manager.

He was sent to secondary school

The father found that his son had no talent for business.

With the urging of his wife and eldest daughter Mary

He finally gave in with a low grumble.

Paul Cezanne Arrives in Paris

CezanneRented a furnished room in Fontana Street

Studying at the Swiss Academy, interacting with Guillaumin and Pissarro

And continued to maintain friendship with Zola

He lived on the 125 francs his father sent him every month.

Maintaining life with difficulty

He couldn't adapt to the hustle and bustle of the capital.

My early works were far from satisfying.

He was never admitted to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris

The reasons are:

“ Although he has the temperament of a colorist, he unfortunately abuses colors ”

He returned to Aix dejected.

His father was so pleased that he arranged a job for him in his bank.

But Paul did not sacrifice his painting brush because of his career in finance, and he still painted passionately.

He painted a parody on four large panels

The Four Seasons

To decorate the rooms of Gerdebouffon

And he rudely signed his paintings with "Ingres" for fun.

He painted self-portraits and also portraits of his father

In November, he returned to Paris

Although he often associated with the Impressionists, he did not appreciate them.

He is close to Monet and Renoir

He admired the works of Delacroix and Courbet.

His paintings at this time were quite romantic, and he called them "hodgepodge"

Others don't like his paintings, and neither does he

In fact, he had nothing to be happy about.

No matter where you go, it's a pleasant sight

He broke off his newly formed friendship

He left the famous painter who had attracted him and kept changing his place of residence.

He left Paris out of boredom and returned out of curiosity.

He retired to Aix, but soon left again.

It is not known whether he was rejected by the official Salon of 1866.

1866Portrait  of Uncle Dominique as a Monk 

" Portrait of a Monk " is a typical work of Cézanne's early period, with a strong student flavor.

The painting depicts a figure dressed in the garb of a Catholic monk

Between 1865 and 1871

Cézanne painted no less than five different portraits of this character.

This man is recorded in art history as "Uncle Dominic"

It relies on color contrast to stand out and rise above the background.

Cézanne's portraits are composed of neat shapes.

This shows that he fully mastered the performance of the painting material, but it is not the portrayal of the characters.

The model did not interest Cézanne; he was only interested in the reproduction of the material.
