MUST LOOK FURTHER IN THE FUTURE
Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was the distinguished French artist of the Post-Impressionist era, appreciated toward the end of his life for his brush strokes and sculptural effect in his paintings. He was also known as the "Master of Aix" after his ancestral home in the South of France. His influence on Tal Coat (1905–1985) may have come from the period when Coat lived in Aix (1940 to 1956). Cézanne is credited for paving the way to the emergence of 20th Century modernism, visually and conceptually. In really looking at his work during my short visit to this exhibition, it constitutes a powerful and well founded link between the aspects of Impressionism and other artistic movements like Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, and even complete abstraction.
