Paul Cezanne

A great French painter Paul Cezanne was born in the town of Aix-en-Provence (Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur) on the 19 of January 1839. Cezanne made friends with impressionists painters Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro and others. Being a member of their circle, none the less, Paul Cezanne always remained a very individual impressionist. He exhibited with them, though his submissions to the Salon were consistently rejected. Later Cezanne gained a foothold in his own distinct and distinguished way in art. He held his works to be "something more solid and durable" than these of the other impressionists. Most of Paul Cezanne paintings are still lifes. Cezanne did not draw his works before painting them, he started with laying colors from the very beginning. The most part of his lifetime Paul Cezanne was ignored by art critics, exhibited little and couldn't win the recognition. Now the artist is often called the father of modern painting. Many of the contemporary artists think him to have the greatest influence with the fine arts of the 20th century.
