THE ARTISTIC CAREER

The Impressionist period

"to perceive is also to remember": it is organized through thought, memory and memory in the consciousness and there is a balance between inner reality and outer reality.

Una moderna Olympia,1874

-Exposed at the impressionist exhibition of 1874 -Juxtaposition of colors -Fast brush strokes -The nude is full of energy in the center of a centripetal spherical space, enhanced by the gesture of the woman behind him

La casa dell'impiccato, 1872/73

-Influence of Pisarro and Monet -Representation of Rouen -Fast brushstrokes -No contour lines -Solid color and becomes pictorial material -Scatters the landscape through compositional lines -First signs of formal constructivism.

Formal constructivism

-It moves away from impressionist naturalism -Short oblique brushstrokes between them -It exploits the properties of the salient warm colors and of the cold falling colors -Space is the result of different sensations tested and analyzed by the conscience -The line and the model are no longer used and the color takes shape, there is a large graininess and a very thick line

Autoritratto con cappello, 1879-80

The synthetic period

After moving to Aix-en-Provence, the artist wants to research the primary geometric shapes (sphere, cylinder and cone) in nature

Natura morta, 1899

'' Still life becomes alive '' Conceives reality at 360 degrees through multiple points of view and escape

I giocatori di carte, 1895

-The figures are geometric, with an overlapping of cylinders to form the busts. -Symmetrical environment, marked by the horizontal line of the window frame. The table and the bottle are oblique. -The sense of action is conveyed by the concentration of the two players

The latest production

The landscape plays a predominant role in this period. Cezanne works on recurring themes (series of bathers, still lifes, series of mountains) to reflect on painting and make it autonomous and personal

Le grandi bagnanti di Philadelphia, 1906

A classical theme with the woman representing the creative power. -The compositional lines suggest the figure of an egg, a symbol of rebirth and perfection - The construction seems out of time, emphasizes the nostalgia for a primitive freedom, the '' virgin '' nature that Cezanne seeks.

Montagna St.Victoire, 1905

-Cezanne's painting becomes an architectural and harmonious formal construction -The sky also takes on its solidity -There are open houses as if they were boxes to convey a 360 ° view of the landscape. The fourth dimension is introduced - The painting will be a great inspiration for Cubism after being exhibited at the Salon d'Automne a year after Cezanne's death.

THE NEW ART

Overcoming of Impressionism

The new art is no longer based on the fleeting moment that the "petit sensation" suggests, but wants to find the essence of reality

sensory, non-conceptual knowledge

search for virgin perception, without the filters of reality

Color

A protagonist of Cezanne's paintings, it plays an important role in the play of light and shadow, with juxtaposition often used.

brushstroke

Always very fast brush strokes and with an intense graininess are characteristic of his art

A visionary

He studies both space and shapes, giving importance to light and color to create a single harmonic construction, giving life to almost architectural structures.

His style will influence many artists of the twentieth century; the promoters of Cubism will be inspired by one of his paintings.

"I want to paint the virginity of the world"
