Overview

Paul Cezanne is considered the father of modern art, but his road to artistic immortality was paved with professional obstacles and self-doubt. Born to a wealthy family, Cezanne turned his back on his father's banking business and moved to Paris to pursue a career as an artist. The rigid style of traditional painting did not interest him. He believed all the rules prevented artists from fully expressing themselves. Rather than conform, he fell in with a group of maverick artists known as the Impressionists. What set Cezanne apart was his use of color and light. He also took his canvases outside to paint in natural light. Cezanne worked in anonymity for most of his life, struggling with critical rejection, destroyed friendships, and isolation. It wasn't until after his death that he earned the recognition that had eluded him in life. Book jacket.
