Cézanne
A revolutionary approach to spatial and visual values
Perhaps best known for his exceptional apples and pears, Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was one of the founding fathers of modern art. Though he was underappreciated and highly criticized during his life, as time passed Cézanne`s work came to be considered of inestimable importance. His method of experimentation with abstraction and perspective was an important precursor to modern painting, particularly cubism.
