Paul Cézanne was born on the 19th January
1839 and died on the 22nd October 1906.
Paul
Cézanne was a French artist and a post-Impressionist painter.
Cézanne’s work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th
century conception of art to radically diverse world of art in the 20th century.
Cézanne is known to be a link between
late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's style of Cubism. His style contributed to both
Matisse and Picasso.
Cézanne's work encapsulated design,
colour, and composition. His work which used repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes is highly
characteristic of his style and clearly recognisable.
The French Alps spread from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean, and can boast the highest
mountain peak in Western Europe, Mont Blanc (15,781 feet).
Courchevel enters its 52nd year as
one of France's premier resorts. One of Cézanne’s historic paintings was the Sainte Victoire
Mountain which is in the French Alps.
Cézanne is known to have loved paining the French Alps and painted some memorable pieces of art.
