MONET And The Impressionists #4: PAUL CEZANNE (1839-1906)
'A work of art that does not begin in emotion is not art.'

Cezanne had a dominating father that expected him to work in a bank, though he managed to convince his father to give him a small allowance so that he could move to Paris to study art and become an artist.
With his rough Provencal accent, Cezanne was an outsider in Parisian art circles.
Cezanne disliked the ephemeral appearance of Impressionist art, so he worked very slowly and methodically on still life, landscapes and portraits.
Although Cezanne is usually exhibited with the Impressionists, he was never really an Impressionist, but more a post-Impressionist.
He said he wanted to make 'something solid and enduring like the art of the museums.'
In the last years of his life, Cezanne's fame grew, and he had a great influence on a collection of younger artists like Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso.
That is why his title is sometimes known as the father of modern art.

P.S. Cezanne painted nearly 200 still lifes in the course of his career.
Cezanne always painted outside and directly from nature.
Such a shame he died of pneumonia as a result.
:( In the modern day he probably would have survived.)
He was talented, I would love to be able to paint like him. :)
All the Impressionists are extremely talented :)
I would love to be able too paint just haven't got the attention span or eye for such a talent

I completely agree with the quote. Art is an attempt to express and communicate an emotion. If you are just doing it for the skill level involved, it's actually craft.
I am in total agreement with your there @baerdric :)
