Jan 19, 1839). He was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century.In effect, Cézanne was a contemporary of the impressionists, but he went beyond their interests in the individual brushstroke and the fall of light onto objects, to create, in his words, "something more solid and durable, like the art of the museums."The art of Paul Cezanne is considered today as being of enormous importance to the developoment of modern art.

Is Your Company a Cezanne or a Picasso?
2007-06-11 06:25:00 I just ran across this - one of my favorite writers and author of the tipping point and blink discusses the two very different types of innovation - the quick Picasso's - and the long and experimental Cezanne .... he has some great insight into the topic here: http://blog.fastcompany.com/arc-hives/2007/06/07/is_your_compan-y_a_cezanne_or_a_picasso.html?p-artner=rss More about the subject can be read about here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid-os/ASIN/0691121095/vinodkurupsh-omep where Galenson writes: Picasso, a conceptual innovator, pretty much knew what he was going to create even before he created it, and came up with new ideas at a rapid pace early in his career. Cezanne, by contrast, was an experimental innovator, slowly rehashing and improving on a particular concept until he nailed it (one needs only to look at his exhaustive studies of Mt.
