The Nabis, led by Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), Paul Serusier (1865-1927), and Maurice Denis (1870-1943), were from then on profoundly influenced by him.

By 1890 Cezanne had become so reclusive that painters in Paris thought he was dead.

Along with the painters Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Gauguin and a few others, Pissarro had developed a painting style that involved working outdoors (en plein air) rapidly and on a reduced scale, employing small touches of pure color, generally without the use of preparatory sketches or linear outlines.

Despite his ever-growing public recognition and monetary success, Cézanne carried on painting in his beloved Aix-en-Provence, far from Paris. Their one child inherited his father's entire estate.

Marie Cézanne, born on 1841 and Rose Cézanne born on 1854.

They attended a primary school near their home together, until the age of 10, when Paul Cézanne changed schools and he started attending the Saint Joseph’s boarding school. He continued to submit his work to the Salon every year until 1882, when he finally successfully submitted ‘Portrait de M.

L. A.’, which is thought to be ‘Portrait of Louis-Auguste Cézanne, The Artist's Father, Reading L'Événement’ painted in 1866, his only successful submission to the Salon.

When the Franco-Prussian War started in July 1870, Cézanne and his model/mistress, Marie-Hortense Fiquet, escaped Paris because Cézanne didn’t want to go to war and settled in L'Estaque, a small seaside village near Marseilles, where he started to mainly paint landscapes again.

They kept the birth a secret from Louis-Auguste Cézanne, as he did not approve of Paul marrying Marie. He was buried at the Saint-Pierre Cemetery in Aix-en-Provence, where he still lies to this day, among many other famous painters and sculptors.

Tourist and art lovers alike can now follow a dedicated guided tour around Aix-en-Provence named ‘In the steps of Cézanne’, which takes visitors around all the landmarks made famous by Paul Cézanne.

In 1886, he had inherited the family estate together with some 400,000 francs ($400,000), from his father, which made him a wealthy man. Louis-Auguste's death left Paul a wealth most artists could only dream of. He produced endless versions of the figurative Les Baigneurs (1900-5, Barnes Foundation, Merion; National Gallery, London) - culminating in his masterpiece, the Large Bathers (Grandes Baigneuses) (1898-1905, London/Philadelphia) - as well as landscapes of Mont Sainte-Victoire (1882-1906, versions in several museums), a well-known landmark near Aix.

With allusive, nervous brushwork, in the short time that remained to him he created the dreamlike vibration of Le Chateau Noir (1906, versions in Pushkin Museum; Museum of Art, Philadelphia; Buhrle Collection, Zurich).

Although Cezanne's health deteriorated in later life, he still made the short journey to his studio to paint everyday.

In 1895, however, Ambroise Vollard, and ambitious Paris art dealer, arranged a show of Cézanne's works and over the next few years promoted them successfully.

He lived at the same tame with the impressionists, but went further than their goal of the personality brushstroke and the drop of light onto things, to build, as he say: "something more concrete and solid, similar to the art of the museums.''

Cézanne was born in the southern French town of Aix-en-Provence, January 19, 1839, the son of a wealthy banker.

A retrospective of 57 paintings took place in 1907 at the Salon d'Automne, which exerted a huge influence on Picasso and Braque who were in the process of formulating their prototype Cubism, as well as the Worpswede painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) and many others.

A key figure in French painting, Cezanne's vision was exploited by a wide variety of modern artists, from Fauvists to Cubists.

They concentrated on themes with a deeper meaning. He left most of his works unfinished and destroyed may others. In his late watercolours and landscapes he developed a magical series of brushstrokes that looked like dragonfly wings, ever shifting, overlapping and breaking apart before coming back together again. Through the use of more plain colours and precise forms.

The succeeding generation of painters, however, eventually came to be receptive to nearly all of Cezanne's idiosyncrasies. If it clashes, it is not art.”

Before 1895 Cézanne had his paintings exhibited two times with the Impressionists. In the breadth of Woman with a Coffee Pot (1890-5, Musee d'Orsay), in the dynamic and masterly Mardi Gras (1888, Pushkin Museum), or in the important series of The Card Players, probably inspired by the work of Le Nain Brothers in Aix Museum (1890-5, versions held in various museums), Cezanne showed the full range of his genius.

The couple moved back to Paris in February 1871 when the war had ended.
