Paul Cézanne was a pioneering French Post-Impressionist painter known for his innovative use of color, form, and perspective. Often called the "father of modern art," his work bridged 19th-century Impressionism and 20th-century abstraction, influencing artists like Picasso and Matisse. Cézanne’s masterpieces, such as his still lifes, landscapes, and studies of Mont Sainte-Victoire, redefined traditional approaches to composition and laid the groundwork for modern art movements.
