Text Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne was a member of the original Impressionist group but soon separated from them. He avoided the atmospheric effects and arranged the composition more carefully .He used their spot technique but applied spots of pure colors differently .He used richer colors and this produced different effect. Cezanne’s most significant contribution was his treatment of space .He brought the background as close to the foreground as possible.

The difference between Cezanne’s approach and the outdoor Impressionists is even more striking in landscape painting. “Mt. Ste.Victoire” shows his ability to organize a theme into a series of Controlled and definitely limited elements. The trees at the left and right establish the foreground boundaries of the picture, the also relate this foreground area to the mountains in the background .The branches of the tree fit into the curves made by the mountains. Thus the background and the painting as a whole are tilted forward and brought into close relationship with the foreground.
