Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter, credited with forming the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and early 20th century Cubism. Cézanne’s characteristic repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are recognizable along with his use of bold colors in the formation of complex fields.
While Cézanne's works were rejected numerous times by the Paris Salon and ridiculed by critics, Cézanne was considered a master by younger artists.
