Collection: Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations for modern art. Bridging Impressionism and Cubism, he focused on structure, form, and the underlying geometry of nature, often reducing objects to basic shapes like cylinders, spheres, and cones. His still-lifes, landscapes, and bathers are marked by bold colour, careful composition, and a distinctive brushstroke. Cézanne’s innovative approach to perspective and form deeply influenced artists like Picasso and Matisse, earning him a reputation as a key figure in the transition to 20th-century abstraction.
