In last week's Sunday Art Review, I featured the work of Marc Chagall after having been inspired by seeing one of his paintings at a gallery here in the Palm Springs area. I had a similar experience this past week where I had the opportunity to see a lesser known piece by French artist Paul Cezanne. Known as the father of modern art, his work has fetched the highest prices ever paid in art auctions. Acceptance and success did not come easy to Cezanne; his paintings were rejected by the official Paris Salon early in his career. A combination of perseverance and practice and yielded an impressive body of work which came to be well respected. He is known as a bridge from the post-impressionist period to the early 20th century art, inspiring greats such as Matisse and Picasso. Cezanne's style is very recognizable and intense at times. His work was the inspiration for this week's Sunday Art Review: C'est Cezanne!
