Often called the “Father of Modern Art,” his works and ideas were influential in the aesthetic development of many 20th-century artists and art movements, particularly in the creation of Cubism. Cezanne’s art was characterized by planes of colour and small brushstrokes that built up to form complex structures. Like many great artists, Cezanne’s creations were largely misunderstood and discredited by the public for most of his life. However, he was particularly admired by young artists of the time, including Picasso and Matisse. Reproduced here is a work from his later years, Terracotta Pots and Flowers (1891–1892), which saw Cezanne enter a new world of still life painting. This change in pace exemplified his desire for a new form of personal expression as he sought to slow down and draw focus back to the everyday. Terracotta Pots and Flowers showcases Cezanne’s intense study of still life compositions. His works such as this one explored the connections and harmonies between everyday objects. Here he arranges a red cloth, a rum bottle with straw binding, and a light blue pitcher with potted geraniums inside the greenhouse at his father’s estate near Aix-en-Provence.
