About the Artist
Paul Cézanne led the art world through the turn of the 19th Century into the 20th Century (or from the 1800s into the 1900s). He used the painterly, expressive brushstrokes from the Impressionist style while incorporating his use of color to highlight specific figures, motifs, or symbolism within the scenes. Cézanne was influenced by geometric spacing within his compositions, allowing shapes and the formation of his figures and objects to form unique motifs in addition to his color palette. Some of his more impressive works of art include The Large Bathers (1898), his Château Noir (1904), and The Basket of Apples (1895), all which are paintings to be collected within the Hall of the Art Thieves.
About the Movement
Cézanne worked in Post-Impressionist Age of art. As a subset of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism (also spelled Postimpressionism) was mostly a French movement toward the end of the 19th Century (or the latter decades in the 1800s). As a way to counter the Impressionist use of naturalism in their light and color, Post-Impressionist artists used a more abstract color palette, where the colors were more symbolic than natural. Some of the most famous Post-Impressionist artists included Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, and Vincent van Gog.
Fun Fact: Cézanne was known as the Father of Post-Impressionism.
