Paul Cézanne: The Life of an Artist - the founder of Modern Art
PLEASE NOTE: TYPO - birthday displayed should be 1839 not 1869. This video covers the life of the great Post Impressionist painter and French artist,, Paul Cézanne. The video talks about a lot of his most famous paintings and contains images of drawings and paintings of semi abstract nude figures.
Paul Cézanne was born on the 19th of January 1839 in Aix en Provence in France, the eldest of three children. Cézanne’s father was an authoritarian figure, unlike his son, who was indecisive and lacked self-confidence. During 1863 and 1864 Cézanne worked regularly at the Academy Suisse in Paris where he met Renoir, Monet and Sisley. He applied to the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Art, but was rejected because they felt his paintings were overworked.
In 1869 he met Hortense Fiquet, a 19-year old bookbinder, who would become his lover. Camille Pissarro advised him to remove dark colours from his palette, not to paint with black, but only with the three primary colours and their derivatives. Cézanne took his advice and the creation of his dark expressive, intuitive paintings came to an end.
The first exhibition of the Impressionists was held at the photographer Nadar's studio in 1874, Cézanne showed three paintings. Monet was not impressed and described Cézanne, ‘as a bricklayer who paints with a trowel’. Two years later he showed 16 paintings at the third Impressionist exhibition, but after a hail of criticism decided not show with the Impressionists again.
Cézanne rejected the Impressionist theories of light, he wasn’t interested in momentary light effects and reflections, they were of secondary importance to him. His goal was to make things look permanent and solid, he achieved this by creating a balanced composition, the result of careful calculation, reflection and logic.
On the 22nd of October 1906 he died of pneumonia and was buried at the San Pierre cemetery in Aix en Provence.
