Cezanne was an influential post-Impressionist painter from 1839-1906 who developed new techniques for depicting spatial relationships and perspectives in his work. He moved beyond traditional representation by using simple geometric shapes and showing objects from multiple viewpoints. His paintings strongly influenced the development of Cubism through this innovative approach. Cezanne's later works focused on landscapes of Mont Sainte-Victoire, abstracting nature in a way that explored the tension between stasis and change. His work contributed to the rise of nonrepresentational art through his revolutionary painting style.
