Paul Cézanne, January 19, 1839–October 22, 1906, was a French painter born in Aix-en-Provence. He studied drawing in Aix and attended the Académie Suisse in Paris, where he met Camille Pissarro. He also copied paintings in the Louvre.
Cézanne worked with Pissarro in the Paris region and associated with Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and other Impressionist painters. He participated in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. Ambroise Vollard organized his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1895. Cézanne continued working in Provence and died in Aix-en-Provence.
His paintings and watercolors are held by the Musée d’Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery in London, the Barnes Foundation and the J. Paul Getty Museum, among other collections.
“It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.”
