CEZANNEPaul Cezanne. Born in Aix-en-Prcvence, 1839_Painted in Paris intermittently 1860-1880. First

influenced by Daumier, Delacroix, Courbet, by study of the Renaissance and Baroque masters andlater, in the '70S, by Pissarro and the Impressionists with whom he exhibited. Retired in 1880 toProvence where he painted till his death in 1906.

Cezanne, in many ways the most important influence upon aoth Century painting, is remarka-ble for his sense of structure, solidity and order obtained through composition and through hisresearches in modelling by color (as well as by light and shade). His method of color-modelling iswell illustrated in his watercolors. Asidefrom its structural quality the superb decorative beautyof his color is remarkable.
