Paul Cézanne
1839 – 1906
French painter, the leading figure in the revolution toward abstraction in modern painting. His father, Philippe Auguste, was the cofounder of a banking firm which prospered throughout the artist's life, affording him financial security that was unavailable to most of his contemporaries and eventually resulting in a large inheritance. In 1852 Cézanne entered the Collège Bourbon, where he met and became friends with Émile Zola who for a time encouraged the painter in his work.
