Paul Cezanne: Father of Modern Art

Paul Cézanne worked alongside the Impressionists, but he was mostly interested in investigating the form, color and structure of objects and how they related to each other in a painting. He was a stubborn, cantankerous outsider who refused to conform to anyone else’s vision but his own. This talk will examine Cézanne’s life, his groundbreaking works, the important friendships and collaborations he had with other artists and will show how he paved the way for 20th Century Modernism.
