Cezanne (1839-1906), often called the father of modern painting, was a renown French Postimpressionist whose works and ideas were influential to 20th-century art in general and the evolution of Cubism in particular. Cezanne lived much of his life struggling to gain acceptance and recognition for the Impressionist style of painting. He, along with his colleagues Edouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas, broke tradition with the Neoclassical and Romantic styles, which at the time characterized 19th Century art. Cezanne took the Impressionist movement a step further by developing a style emphasizing the underlying structure of shapes rather than the objective vision presented by the light that emanated from them. He composed cubic masses and architectonic lines; his strokes, unlike those of the Impressionists, were not strewn with color, but they complemented each other in a chromatic unity.

He disagreed with the style of the old masters and their highly representational art and worked to attain a level of realism hinted at by the intensity of the color and the essential simplicity of the form present in his paintings. In the end, he won considerable acclaim at a retrospective of his works at the Salon d'Automne in Paris a year after his death. "I seek to render perspective only through color" he said.
