"Sous l’impulsion des "anticezanniens", exerçant "un vrai pouvoir de nuisance", aucun tableau du maître d’Aix n’entrera au musée d’Aix, et il faudra une longue attente pour la réhabilitation de Cezanne dans sa ville." 😮

Le tableau de famille qu’elle dresse est tout sauf serein : vanité, querelles d’héritage, dérives financières… Une véritable fresque familiale où le nom du peintre agit comme un poison lent.

Il est considéré comme le père de l’art moderne. Capable de traiter un fruit avec le même égard qu’un visage, Paul Cezanne a révolutionné l’histoire de la peinture, réconciliant les classiques et les modernes, les tenants de la couleur et ceux du dessin. Alors qu’Aix-en-Provence a ouvert l’année Cezanne, Beaux Arts nous révèle six détails qui veulent dire beaucoup.

"Still Life with Flowers and Fruit," Paul Cézanne, c. 1890.

Cézanne (1839-1906) was an enormously influential artist in the years after Impressionism. He introduced new techniques and styles, and in many ways is seen as emblematic of the shift from the 19th to the 20th centuries, with many viewing his work as an inspiration to 20th century avant-garde and even Cubism.

Here, we have an example from his obsession with still lifes in the 1880s. He would paint over and over different arrangements of fruit, flowers, a white cloth, and a wooden table, always shifting things and trying different light. He truly sought to grasp and capture the objects he painted.

Happy Flower Friday!

A Post-Impressionist painting. A vase of flowers sits on a tabletop, covered with a rumpled white cloth. Assorted pears sit on the cloth in varying positions. The vase, which is blue and gold has daisies, poppies, and possibly hydrangeas, along with other greenery.

Le descendant du peintre raconte aussi combien son grand-père a souffert du manque de considération d’Aix pour son père Paul Cezanne : "À la mort de Cezanne, son fils, mon grand-père, a vidé l’appartement et l’atelier a dit 'puisque les Aixois n’aiment pas mon père, je ne reviendrai jamais'. Aujourd’hui c’est le début d’une grande aventure. Moi, je trouve ça passionnant à vivre".

A painting done in oil pastels. The illustration is quick reproduction of a Paul Cézanne still life. There is a cloth drapped on a wooden table, with fruit, a green glass bottle, and a white ceramic bowl holding some bread.

It’s so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.

The Card Players by Paul Cézanne

The Card Players is a renowned series of oil paintings created by the influential French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. These remarkable works were produced during Cézanne’s culminating period in the early 1890s, encompassing five distinctive paintings. Each version exhibits variances in size, the quantity of players depicted, and the specific environment where the card game is situated. In addition to these paintings, Cézanne meticulously executed a multitude of drawings and studies as a prelude to The Card Players series.

I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.

The Significance of The Card Players Series

The series is considered by critics to be a cornerstone of Cézanne’s art during the early-to-mid 1890s period, as well as a “prelude” to his final years, when he painted some of his most acclaimed work. This remarkable series showcases Cézanne’s mastery in capturing the nuances of human interaction and the atmospheric essence of the card game setting.

Paul Cézanne: Pioneer of Modern Art

Paul Cézanne, born on January 19, 1839, in Aix-en-Provence, France, was a pivotal figure in the transition from 19th-century Impressionism to 20th-century Cubism. Despite facing initial rejection and criticism, Cézanne’s persistent exploration of form, composition, and colour laid the foundation for modern art.

His early works were influenced by the Impressionist movement, especially after meeting Camille Pissarro and developing a close relationship with him. However, Cézanne’s style evolved, leading him to depart from pure Impressionism and pursue a more structured approach to painting.

Cézanne’s innovative use of geometric forms and distinctive brushwork set the stage for the emergence of Cubism and Fauvism. His exploration of still life, landscapes, and the renowned Mont Sainte-Victoire demonstrated an unparalleled mastery of light and perspective. His innovative approach to form, composition, and colour left an indelible mark on the development of various art movements and styles, influencing prominent artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Paul Klee, Amedeo Modigliani, and Diego Rivera.

Paul Cézanne passed away on October 22, 1906, in Aix-en-Provence, leaving behind a transformative body of work that continues to inspire and influence artists and art enthusiasts worldwide.

The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.
Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne’s sentiments about his artistic achievements were complex. Despite his dedication and relentless pursuit of perfecting his craft, he often expressed feelings of inadequacy and a sense of unattained ambitions. In one notable quote, he stated, “I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.”

This declaration illustrates Cézanne’s belief that artistic mastery was an unattainable goal, regardless of the duration of his creative endeavors. His quote, “My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I’ve been pursuing all my life,” further reflects his inner conflict and the persistent pursuit of an unattainable artistic ideal. These expressions reveal Cézanne’s deep introspection and the perpetual internal struggle to achieve artistic perfection.

Paul Cézanne’s profound impact on 20th-century art was acknowledged posthumously, securing his legacy as one of the most influential artists in the history of modern art.
