Cézanne and His Impressionist Period
Six Paintings. One Concept

Before revolutionizing painting to the point of being considered the “Father of Modernity,” Cézanne experimented Impressionism.
It was at the beginning of the 1870s, when he used to paint outdoors with Pissarro, who would be considered "master of impressionists." He was his friend and they formed a group with Monet and Renoir and participated in the first exhibition of 1874.
And although Pisarro remained "one of the most impressionists" and exhibited in all the group's exhibitions, Cézanne, instead, took a different direction. In this painting, for example, we can observe how the artist already began to worry about geometry, about the order in which the volumes of the houses are "arranged." There is "geometrization in the landscape" that would be seen later in the series of the Mont Sainte-Victoire, a great inspiration for Cubism.
