1. Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) Cezanne was a shy man from a well-to-do family. He spent some time in Paris absorbing Impressionist influences, but eventually returned to the countryside of Aix-en- Provence where he painted in artistic isolation. His color was more restrained than the Impressionists; Cezanne was much more concerned with manipulating perspective and geometrical pictorial structure.
