Dear June, I am writing to you from sunny southern France where I am visiting Aix en Provence, the birthplace of Paul Cézanne, and the location he painted his Post-Impressionist masterpiece “Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses” – an oil painting on canvas completed in the early 1890’s. I used a substantial portion of my vacation fund this year to visit this beautiful city where “Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses” was created; pleasant weather and a rich history are an added bonus! My round trip flight from Houston to Marseille was around $1200. I left at 3:05pm on September 3rd and arrived in Marseille at 11:30am one day later. A quick 40 minute bus ride took me from the airport in Marseille to Aix, where I am staying at the Hotel Cézanne. The hotel is an additional $120 a night, however I consider this a small price to pay for such a delightful trip. It may interest you to learn that Claude Monet once owned “Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses” … he was an admirer of Cézanne as well! Aix en Provence (sometimes called ‘Aix’) is an …show more content…
Paul Cézanne was born in Aix en Provence in 1839. His father was a wealthy banker, which allowed Cézanne the financial freedom to pursue a career in art. He first began exploring art in 1857, studying drawing at the Free Municipal School of Art in Aix. In 1861 Cézanne left Aix for Paris where he studied under Impressionist Camille Pissarro, with whom he maintained a “master/pupil” relationship for several years. Cézanne’s paintings, however, were initially met with skepticism and disapproval. This lack of recognition eventually led Cézanne to return home to Aix where he painted in obscurity. I believe this sense of solitude is present in many of his still lifes, including “Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses”. Cézanne died of pneumonia on October 22, 1906, having spent 2 hours working in the rain on the previous

During Ernest Hemingway’s time in Paris, 1921-26, he frequented the Musée du Luxembourg where he encountered the work of Paul Cézanne (1839-1906). Hemingway cites the post-impressionistic painter as a major influence multiple times, but does so in a particularly enlightening manner within his posthumously published memoir, A Moveable Feast, from 1964: “I was learning something from the painting of Cézanne that made writing simple true sentences far from enough to make the stories have the dimensions that I was trying to put in them. I was learning very much from him but I was not articulate enough to explain it to anyone. Besides it was a secret” (13). There were many things Hemingway saw when he looked at Cézanne’s artwork in the Musée

This essay will discuss the significant similarities and differences between Paul Cézanne’s work, Still Life with Pot of Flowers and Pears painted in 1880-90 and Louise Moillon’s work, Still Life with Bowl of Curaçao Oranges painted in 1634. Although both painters were born in France, they were painting during time periods. Moillon was born in 1609 in Paris and was painting during the Baroque era, which encompassed intense shadow and rich colours (Harrison, 2010). Cezanne was born in 1839 in Aix-en-Providence and was paining in the Post-Impressionism era, which included thick applications of paint and had a more expressive effect (Harrison, 2010). Both works are created with oil paint, however, Cezanne has chosen to paint his work on canvas, whereas Moillon’s work is displayed on panel.
One of the most influential painters of the twentieth century was Paul Cezanne. He was willing to break the traditionally accepted artistic practices in order to better portray his artistic creativity. Cezanne became part of the movement following the Impressionists called the Post-Impressionism movement. The artists who were the driving forces behind this movement were Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, and Cezanne. These artists were grouped together because they were the avant-garde artists of the time period, who wanted to be able to express their emotions rather than simply representing what they saw. Cezanne’s Mont Sainte-Victoire seen from The Bibemus Quarry was painted in 1985. Mont Sainte-Victoire is a mountain that is in the South of France and overlooks the Aix-en-Provence, which happens to be the hometown of Paul Cezanne. This work exemplifies the Post-Impressionistic techniques because Cezanne utilized the avant-garde techniques, while at the same time demonstrating the relationship between the artist and the work.
Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French painter, born in Aix, France. Cézanne was born to a middle-class family, being his father the co-founder of a banking firm. Cézanne attended to good schools due to his family’s background. Paul was registered to the Bourbon College where he enhanced his skills. After meeting Émile Zola in the Bourbon College, Cézanne was encouraged to go deeper in his artistic career. Both of them had the idea of success in the industrial Paris. His father derailed his plans when he denied him to continue his artistic career. Paul was offered by his father to study law at the University of Aix-en-Provence. Cézanne accepted the offer and continued studying law for a time. After persuading his father to allow him to go to
During the early 1880s, Monet documented the French countryside with landscapes and seascapes. The family at home and in the garden was a popular theme of his work. This view of a path and stairs shaded by sunflowers and dotted with flowers was the subject matter of a series of paintings.
As well as Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre, Pablo Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon was inspired by and deviated from Cezanne’s great achievement. Cezanne’s landscape is a broad open field with the abstract females surround a pond as they bath with abstract surroundings, very much different from Picasso’s
