Paul Cezanne: Masterpieces in Colour

Paul Cézanne forms the connection linking late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new contour of Cubism. Matisse and Picasso together recognize that "Cezanne is the father of all us," so that his contribution to modern art just can not be rejected.

Cézanne, who exhibited paintings rarely and lived progressively more in creative isolation, is considered nowadays as one of the greatest pioneers of modern art and painting, equally for the method that he evolved of putting down on canvas exactly what his eye saw in nature and for the qualities of form that he accomplished all the way through a unique dealing with space and color.

He lived at the same tame with the impressionists, but went further than their goal of the personality brushstroke and the drop of light onto things, to build, as he say: "something more concrete and solid, similar to the art of the museums.''
