*************

Paul Cézanne (US /se?'zæn/ or UK /s?'zæn/; French: [p?l sezan]; 1839–1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects.

Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. Both Matisse and Picasso are said to have remarked that Cézanne ""is the father of us all.""

The Cézannes lived in the town of Cesana now in West Piedmont, and the surname is probably of Italian origin.^[1] Paul Cézanne was born on 19 January 1839 in Aix-en-Provence, in Provence in the South of France.^[2] On 22 February, Paul was baptized in the Église de la Madeleine, with his grandmother and uncle Louis as godparents.^[2][3][4][5] His father, Louis-Auguste Cézanne (1798–1886),^[6] was the co-founder of a banking firm that prospered throughout the artist's life, affording him financial security that was unavailable to most of his contemporaries and eventually resulting in a large inheritance.^[7]

His mother, Anne Elisabeth Honorine Aubert (1814–1897),^[8] was ""vivacious and romantic, but quick to take offence"".^[9] It was from her that Cézanne got his conception and vision of life.^[9] He also had two younger sisters, Marie and Rose, with whom he went to a primary school every day.^[2][10]

At the age of ten Paul entered the Saint Joseph school in Aix.^[11] In 1852 Cézanne entered the Collège Bourbon (now Collège Mignet), where he met and became friends with Émile Zola, who was in a less advanced class,^[7][10] as well as Baptistin Baille—three friends who came to be known as ""les trois inséparables"" (the three inseparables).^[12] He stayed there for six years, though in the last two years he was a day scholar.^[13] In 1857 he began attending the Free Municipal School of Drawing in Aix, where he studied drawing under Joseph Gibert, a Spanish monk.^[14] From 1858 to 1861, complying with his father's wishes, Cézanne attended the law school of the University of Aix, while also receiving drawing lessons.^[15]

Going against the objections of his banker father, he committed himself to pursuing his artistic development and left Aix for Paris in 1861. He was strongly encouraged to make this decision by Zola, who was already living in the capital at the time. Eventually, his father reconciled with Cézanne and supported his choice of career. Cézanne later received an inheritance of 400,000 francs (£218,363.62) from his father, which rid him of all financial worries.^[16]
