Life Story, Art Trip, and Painting Work of Paul Cézanne
Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence, one part of southern France on January 19, 1839. Provence is the region with the geographical structure of the complex and diverse, with many high plains and mountains stretching to the east of the Rhone valley. The climate is hot and dry summer and cold in winter. The altitude varies from lowland to mountain top which is quite impressive, with plants covered with pine forests and mountains around the stone. The atmosphere as it often appears in the works of Cézanne.
Since childhood relationship with his father, who is known rough not so good. This can be seen from the work of Cézanne’s early works that show an expression of anger and frustration.
The period 1859 to 1861 was spent Cézanne to explore the field of law in Aix, and began developing his artistic soul through art lessons. He then decides to disobey his father’s desire to fully concentrate on art and leaving Aix to Paris with her best friend Émile Zola in 1861. But it turns out his father’s full support, so that he could continue to live comfortably.
In Paris, Cézanne met Pissarro and several other Impressionists artists. Pissarro considerable influence in the development of Cézanne’s work and they sometimes appear to paint together.
Paul Cézanne early works show a lot of scenery, with many large and heavy objects imaginatively painted. Then his work evolved into a lighter with direct observation as a result of the influence of impressionism style. Cézanne’s style is similar to an architectural approach in designing the form. Field of view is split into several small parts to the point of view of a flat with some touches of color.
One of the famous words “I want them to re-perspective impressionism becomes more solid and lasting like the art works that had been on display at the museum.” It is as if describing the determination to develop its own observations to display the objects in nature with a more accurate method, including by way of breaking the surface of the object becomes repetitive and minor scratches. Cézanne has a tendency to always see the object in the form and touches of color are much simpler to display as much information as possible.
Cézanne’s geometric approach provides a major influence on the style of cubism of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris. If Cubist works juxtaposed with works by the end of Cézannete, you will see a direct relationship between the observation Cézanne with achievement in Cubism. One important part of this similarity is the depth and concentration of applied Cézanne to show his observations of nature. Each of us has a vision binoculars. As a result each individual will have two points of view as well which is processed into the concept of depth of field by the visual cortex of the brain. Cézanne used this concept as well as the influence of cubism style. It’s just that cubism develop this concept further by not only trying to use two points of view, but many points of view together in one work.
Cézanne’s works first exhibited at the Salon des Refusés in 1863, where the works are rejected by the curator of the Paris Salon. Paris Salon rejected his work continuously from the period 1864 to 1869.
Cézanne rarely exhibited his work and continue to work in isolation in Provence, far from Paris. He concentrated on three areas: still life, painting the bathhouse, and the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, which has repeatedly become the object of his paintings.
Although religious touch rarely appears in his work, he remained a devout Catholic. He said: “When I give an assessment of the arts, I will put my work in addition to the works of God such as trees or flowers. If the contrary, it is not art. “
For the modern art in the 20th century, Cézanne is the father of modern art concept. Pablo Picasso called him “Father of us all”.
Towards the end of his life Cézanne hostile to Zola from Zola’s work is considered abusive Cézanne in the novel L’oeuvre (The Masterpiece, 1886) and never reconciled.
In 1906, Cézanne collapsed while painting outdoors made in a state of the storm. A week later, on October 22, he died of pneumonia.
On May 10, 1999, Paul Cézanne painting, Rideau, cruchon et compotier sold for U.S. $ 60.5 million, the fourth most expensive painting for that period.
