Cezanne:  1839-1906 Early paintings :  Cezanne created fantastic dreamlike scenes and used a  heavy palette knife 1872 Cezanne met Monet and began using color to show perspective and light to “recreate nature”  Accomplishments:   Cezanne developed new type of spatial pattern, showing objects from shifting viewpoints and simple shapes.  Strongly influenced CUBISM

Cezanne: The Abduction, 1867 Does this painting show the influence of the Romantic era?  How?
