Father of Modern Art
Mount Sainte-Victoire, 1904-1906 by Paul Cézanne, Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Cézanne is considered to be the father of modern painting. His use of loose brush strokes and flattened planes led to Impressionism and Cubism. His bright palette influenced the Fauvist painters, as well.

Cezanne! A favorite of mine. My folks have a beautiful Cezanne print nicely framed in the dining room. It makes the perfect finishing touch.
I love Cezanne. I've been reading your blog for a while. Sorry I have not commented. It's an awesome refresher from those art appreciation courses I took in college!
