Homage to Cezanne (large)Medium: Oil on canvasYear: 2005-2007Size: 95x95 cm (37.4x37.4 inches)Owner: Washington State, USA*Painted on 30 cm wide box-frame. Does not need frame. I have always admired Cezanne. His father didn't want him to become a painter, but he insisted. Well in Paris, he took up painting vigorously but was too modern to get any praise by local gallerists and art critics. Several times he was rejected by the saloon causing him great self-doubt. Still, his dominant, stubborn side said, "one day I'll show them" and indeed he did. A break-through for Cezanne was meeting the impressionistic painter Pissaro who taught him to paint outside. Between 1882 and 1887, he painted several canvases and watrercolors of the Sainte-Victoire mountain, close to where he lived in Provance, France. So this was my homage to Cezanne, depicting a mountain taken from my imagination, yet greatly inspired by his work.
