Boy in Red Vest by Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne was a French post-impressionist painter known for his innovative approach to color and form. He was a pivotal figure in the transition from 19th-century artistic traditions to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. His work laid the foundation for the transition from Impressionism to Cubism, and his influence can be seen in the works of artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cezanne’s paintings often depict landscapes, still lifes, and human figures with a unique and distinctive style characterized by bold colors, strong brushstrokes, and a focus on geometric forms. His masterpieces include “The Card Players,” “Mont Sainte-Victoire,” and “The Bathers.”
