Paul Cézanne and a Revolution of Space

After having presented with the revolutionary Impressionists in their first couple of solo exhibitions, Paul Cézanne went on to isolate himself in Aix-en-Provence and develop a unique and challenging personal style which would go on to have a major impact on the next few generations of artists. Radically redefining space, Cézanne developed new ways of depicting space that challenged the traditional role of art being “a window on the world” and tried to address the reality of three-dimensional space being presented on a two-dimensional surface without reliance on illusion. This lecture will give an overview of his career, the advancements that he made, and the styles that he would inspire.
