Paul Cezanne (born January 19, 1839 in Aix-en-Provence, died October 22, 1906) is a French Impressionist painter. Unlike most artists of his time, Paul Cezanne was not interested in the everyday life of Paris. He did not care about cabaret, theatre or nightlife.
The painter's favourite themes were landscapes. In his early period of work he was influenced by Baroque and romantic painting, with time resigning from them in favour of geometric forms and cubism.
Henri Matisse hailed him as the father of all painters. His paintings also aroused unquestionable admiration of Pablo Picasso.
Selected works: Great pin, Still Life with a fruit basket, Card Player, Boy in a red vest.
