Paul Cézanne, the great master of the French Post-Impressionist school, was born in 1839 and died in 1906. Although his life was short, his artistic achievements are enough to go down in history forever. Cézanne's work and ideas had a profound influence on 20th-century art, especially Cubism, and he suffered from public incomprehension and cold reception for much of his lifetime. However, with perseverance, he eventually challenged all the conventional pictorial values of the 19th century. Cézanne's greatness lies in his subtle analysis of color and light and shade, his subversion of the traditional visual perspective, extracting the structure of space from the impression of color, and making the field of painting enter a pure artistic era, which is an unprecedented feat. Because of this, he is known as the "father of modern art". Convinced that shape and color complement each other, he uses geometric brushstrokes to paint color on a flat surface, gradually forming the surface of the painting. He advocates the abandonment of lines and chiaroscuro in favor of the use of color contrasts to present the three-dimensionality and depth of objects. He uses the warm and cold changes of color to shape the form, and uses geometric elements to construct the image. By the end of the 19th century, Paul Cézanne was highly praised as the "standard-bearer of Art Nouveau", and as a pioneer of modern art, he was revered as the "father of modern painting" by modern Western painters. His artistic philosophy and style of work have led to changes in the art world and left a valuable artistic legacy for future generations.
