Paul Cézanne was one of the originalImpressionists , though unlike contemporary such asPierre - Auguste Renoir , Cézanne largely disregard preferences of urban lifetime in favor of landscapes and still sprightliness . Indeed , after the third Impressionist expo he would move by to Aix - nut - Provence to work in isolation , never exhibiting with the Impressionists again .
Paul Cézanne ’s deep desire to pursue his independent vision instigate him to move forth from Paris and deduct his works from the Impressionist exhibitions . However , he maintained a hard relationship with many of the core phallus , who always welcomed his backing and his opinions .
Cézanne never rejected his public identity as an Impressionist , but from the outset he had pursued a unlike path . Rather than capture the fleeting sensations of nature , Paul Cézanne sought to develop a graphic language that would parallel nature ’s underlying morphologic guild . In his late career he limited his work to a select stove of motive : still life-time , the landscapes that surrounded his home in Aix - en - Provence , and a few number compositions . Despite his isolation , however , Paul Cézanne ’s name will forever be linked with the Impressionists .

The House of the Hanged Man by Paul Cezanne
Paul Cézanne’spaintingThe House of the Hanged Manwas discharge in 1873 . The title of this painting served only as a pretext for Cézanne ’s landscape . He applied his paint with a with child paw and worked the airfoil with a palette knife . The resulting impasto ( the thick key app ) and Paul Cézanne ’s rigorously constructed composition inThe House of the Hanged Manmarked a difference from the landscape approach ofClaude MonetandBerthe Morisotthat promptly characterise theImpressionistcircle .

Landscape near Aix, the Plain of the Arc River by Paul Cezanne

Fiercely sovereign , Cézanne follow his own way , seeking to turn his observations of nature into a painted structure of squarely brushed color and lock carpenter’s plane and volumes , as evidenced inLandscape Near Aix , the Plain of the Arc River . Paul Cézanne trust that picture reflected the interaction of the heart and the mind , the former taking in the image of nature and the latter understand it into colour and class that suggest rather than mirror the perceptions of the palisade domain .
