Paul Cezanne


Paul Cézanne
was born in Aix-en-Provence, a small town south of France. As a young boy, Cézanne’s
passions lay in his poetry and his friends, including Emile Zola (Preble 402). Cézanne
is included in the time of the Post-Impressionists. Cézanne wanted “to make
Impressionism into something solid and enduring like the art of museums” (Preble
401). Cézanne did not have a typical, (as I define as friendly), relationship
with his father. Cézanne had some problems with his father. Cézanne’s father
wanted for Cézanne to be a lawyer. His father had sent him to a college for
lawyers but Cézanne was coaxed otherwise by his friend Zola her moved to Paris
(Preble 402). Cézanne’s father had bought the Jas de Bouffan, which would be
the place that Cézanne did many of his works (Rewald 21). The Jas de Bouffan
would be their residence for over a half a century. In one of Cézanne’s
paintings of their residence he omits people and animals that, like in most of
his paintings, would disrupt the unchanging features of the scene (Murphy 150).
Cézanne’s father was always in a struggle with his son. His father was one

spoke of him as a genius for leaving him an income of 25,000 francs (Murphy
123). Cézanne married his 12-year affair Hortense Fiquet. A few months after
their marriage, Cézanne’s father died. Hortense was not welcome at the Jas de
Bouffan by Cézanne’s mother and sister. People say that his mother and sister
banned her from the house and they were in a rage of giving her too much money
(Murphy 117). Cézanne’s sister, Marie, was the one that encouraged the
marriage, even though she disliked Hortense, in hope that in would lift the
spirits of her brother. Hortense and Cézanne did not along very well (Rewald
125). Even after their marriage, Cézanne had no thought about living the Jas or
his other and sister. Cézanne thought that 16,000 francs, which were her share,
was all that she needed (Rewald 125). Emile Zola was Paul’s best friend. Cézanne
and Zola were attracted by their shared interest in literary movements and
artists. Zola and Cézanne played an important role in each other’s life with
Zola helping start Cézanne’s art career and Cézanne helping Z...
