Paul C’ezanne and the Post-Impressionists

Still Life: Flask, Glass, and Jug
Paul Cezanne: “Still Life: Flask, Glass, and Jug”

The artists that often come to mind when discussing the Post-Impressionists are Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Maurice De Vlaminck, and, of course, Paul Cezanne, the central figure in the movement whose art had the greatest influence over the others. The term “Post Impressionist” was first used by Roger Fry in 1910 at the London Art Exhibition

In his painting, Still Life: Flask, Glass, and Jug, Cezanne shows his preoccupation with structure.  He was more focused on showing the volume and space the objects in the painting inhabited than capturing a convincing likeness.
