The Basket of Apples, c. 1893

Paul Cézanne

1839–1906 · Post-Impressionism, Impressionism · 20 works

Cézanne worked alongside the Impressionists while seeking a lasting structure in what he saw. His increasingly ordered brushwork builds relationships between color, shape and space. Landscapes, portraits and still lifes became subjects he could return to and study slowly.
