His paintbrush set everything in motion: the landscape of Provence,
the colourful still lifes, his portraits and the picturesque coast
of southern France. More than any other artist, Paul Cézanne, the
“Father of Modernism”, captured the light and the play of
colours of the South in his pictures and lent them through his new
pictorial language a liveliness and dynamism which continue to
fascinate viewers to this day. Paul Cézanne (1839 – 1906)
painted the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a rocky massif near his
birthplace Aix-en-Provence, some 80 times. The artist translated
the interplay of sunlight and shadow on the constantly changing
stone into pictures on the threshold of abstraction. Today they are
seen as icons of art history and they underline Cézanne’s
reputation as one of the most important pioneers of Classical
Modernism. Countless artists, including Matisse, Derain, Picasso,
Braque and Léger found inspiration in Cézanne’s ideas on colour
modulation and pictorial composition. In this publication the
author Christoph Wagner positions Cézanne as an artistic genius
who opened up for future generations a completely new view of the
world through his paintings and watercolours.
