Paul Cézanne,  (born January 19, 1839, Aix-en-Provence, France—died October 22, 1906, Aix-en-Provence), French painter, one of the greatest of the Post-Impressionists, whose works and ideas were influential in the aesthetic development of many 20th-century artists and art movements, especially Cubism. Cézanne’s art, misunderstood and discredited by the public during most of his life, grew out of Impressionism and eventually challenged all the conventional values of painting in the 19th century because of his insistence on personal expression and on the integrity of the painting itself, regardless of subject matter. See also the Britannica Classic by Roger Fry: Cézanne.

(1839-1906). Today many critics call Paul Cezanne the Father of Modern Painting, but during most of his life he seemed to be a failure. He sold few pictures and won no prizes. He had to be supported by his father and was also helped by the writer Emile Zola, his boyhood friend. Only in the last decade of his life was his greatness recognized.
