Topics: french artists, paul cezanne
Any fans?
He did over 200 still lifes, mostly fruit in bowls on tables. They have bold colors with dark outlines which reminds me of stained glass which I really like.
He did lots of landscapes of France. I really like his buildings but not the globby/lumpy looking plants. That's just my taste.
I adore his Pyramid of Skulls picture. It's very realistic and dark. Reminds of "alas, poor Yorick..." Either I am a Shakespeare fan or I have a dark side, I guess.
Here's a link to my post if you are interested: busylizzyseasle.blogspot.com/2009/03/paul-cezanne-life-and-works.html#links

Love Cezanne! -
I love painting but I don't know who painted what..
cool painting-
Dosox - you have to immerse yourself into getting to know maybe 10 to 20 of one painter's works to where you almost have them memorized. Then one day, you'll see a painting and know who did it and yet it's not one of the ones you memorized. This means you have internalized that particular artist's style. It's a neat feeling when this happens.

Very nice I am a big fan of the Impressionists, I like the way they use colour.
I have just added some of my new art to my blog, I have tried to use colour in the same bold way but with a much more fluid abstract style.

I wrote a critical essay on Cezanne in college for my European Art History class.
I like the Impressionists, but I prefer Abstract Expressionism. Rothko, Pollack. -
I loved that! -
Cezanne is my favorite painter of all time.
