  1. MODERNISM

  2. Paul CEZANNE: THE FOUNDING FATHER OF MODERNISM1839-1906 *…structured paintings of an ordered nature through a methodical application of color that merged drawing and modeling into a single process” • Becomes the point of reference for artists from Picasso and Matisse through Jasper Johns. He even had his own “anti Cezanne” movement characterized by Marcel DuChamp, who disdained “retinal art” (observational painting). • His ideal was to redo “Poussin after nature”…. He went after each “by reducing the elements of the former to “the cylinder, the sphere, the conve, everything in proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed to a central point.” Cezanne • Inspired followers who emulated him and those who openly rebelled against him • Preferred nature to urban life • Limited range of colors; brushstrokes which vary from short parallel hatchings to light lines to broader swathes of color weave together the elements of color into a unified but flattened visual space • Surface design competes with the pictorial effect of receding space • Saturated hues in foreground; lighter values in background
