Paul
Cezanne was born on January 19, 1839, as the son of a
wealthy banker in the southern French town of Aix-en-Provence.
Cezanne develops artistic interest at an early age and
joins his boyhood companion and author Emile Zola in Paris
in 1861, after many disputes with his father over his
desire to dedicate himself to painting. Cezanne's stay
in Paris lasted only six months.
Though attracted by the more radical art forms in Paris,
admiring the innovating works by Eugène Delacroix, Gustave
Courbet and Edouard Manet, he destroys many canvases during
depressive moments and returns home full of self-doubt.
A year spent working with his father, however, convinced
him to try a painter's life again. Cezanne's early works
were dark and composed of heavy, fluid pigment suggesting
the moody, romantic expression of previous generations.
