Paul Cézanne - French Post-Impressionist painter whose work bridges the gap between Impressionism and Cubism.In 1895, thanks to the efforts of the art dealer Ambroise Vollard, the artist held his first solo exhibition. It was not well received by critics, but aroused the admiration of artists, especially avant-garde artists.In 1907, as part of the Autumn Salon, a major retrospective exhibition of the artist's work was organized, which showed his 50 paintings. This exhibition led to the recognition of the artist's significant role. Modernists of the early 20th century considered Cézanne a forerunner of modern painting. Henri Matisse called him "the father of all painters," and many artists recognized in him the creator of the breakthrough in 20th century art. Pablo Picasso also admired his paintings.
Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927) was a French painter and one of the members of the Impressionist group. His works were known for their vivid colors and landscapes. Guillaumin was a close friend of Paul Cézanne, as well as other Impressionists such as Camille Pissarro. The hanging symbol, seen in the upper left corner, in the context of art is often used as a memento mori, a reminder of human mortality; in Cézanne's case, it may be a reference to his own artistic and personal struggles.
Paul Cézanne's works, including his prints, are kept and exhibited in many museums around the world. They can be found in institutions such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the National Gallery in London. A particular etching may be in one of these collections or in the hands of private collectors. Paul Cézanne's works are highly valued on the art market. His oil paintings often fetch prices ranging from several million to over a hundred million dollars at auction.
