Paul Cézanne

A banker's son from Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne worked slowly and stubbornly, building apples, mountains and bathers out of patches of color until they felt as solid as architecture. Mostly ignored until his last decade, he kept painting the same fruit, the same farmhands and the same mountain, and changed how the next century looked at painting. Every piece here is in the public domain, shown from museums that share their collections openly.
