Paul Cezanne

Mont Sainte-Victoire from the Bibemus Quarry

US$ 609.00

The mountain rises behind the ochre rock faces of an abandoned quarry, everything built from blocks of orange, green and blue laid side by side rather than blended. Cezanne is not describing the quarry so much as reconstructing it. The picture sits exactly on the line between landscape painting and what came after it.

Artist

Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) painted the same mountain outside Aix more than eighty times, working the motif until landscape became a question about how vision itself assembles a scene from patches of colour. He was dismissed for most of his career and worked in near-isolation. Both Picasso and Matisse called him the father of modern art, and the claim is hard to argue with.
