Analysis of Nature in Paul Cezanne’s Art

Abstract

Human beings have always interacted with nature, internalized and included it nearly to every incident since their first existence. They have never thought a life style without it in food industry, sheltering, cosmetics, art and science. However, with the increase of new inventions thanks to the technological developments, the process of mechanization has started and nature has been faced with unfavorable instances of it. Paul Cezanne who has been accepted as pioneer of modern art has been the first among the artists who have reflected natural life into their artworks. Via his close connection to St. Victoire mountain and using it as the basic motif in his pieces, the artist defends that all the forms in nature rely on geometic laws.
