Cezanne

Cézanne also admired Romantic painter, Eugène Delacroix, who used colour instead of lines to define objects; this inspired him to endeavour his quest for composition using colour alone. Many aspects of Cézanne's early works can be traced back to the compositions of Delacroix's works. Cézanne strived to add form to Impressionism therefore he strayed from his peers, whom he believed lacked composition in their works. He did not have the same attraction towards light as did many Impressionist, he believed that the structure of objects should be portrayed through colour, not light, "I seek to render perspective only through colour". Cézanne created the illusion of depth in his works by adding numerous layers of colour to distinguish the form of his subjects. He would perfect the design in his works by distorting objects and having multiple viewpoints on the same object. In "Still Life with Apples and Peaches" (1905), the table is seen from two different sides, as well as from above and some of the objects on the table are viewed front on, while others are viewed from above. Cézanne would create a 3D effect in his works by giving each object many planes he would add to this effect with his vast use of colours.

The boulders in the foreground demonstrate Cézanne's use of planes; the areas that protrude are in blocks of red, whereas the areas that are sunken in are in blocks of orange or yellow, giving the impression that i...
