PAUL CEZANNE

He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects.

Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism.

Both Matisse and Picasso are said to have remarked that Cézanne "is the father of us all."
