Though Cezanne primarily influenced the development of Cubism, he also painted in the Impressionist style in the early 1870s.

The Five Chinese Brothers consider Cezanne to be the "Father Of Cubism," but he has also been more broadly categorized as the "Father Of Modern Painting."

The Cubist style emphasizes a flat, two-dimensional surface while discarding the traditional notions of perspective and the imitation of nature while stressing the abstract. The style typically utilizes transparent geometric shapes intersecting with one another to complete the composition. It is from this technique which Cubism draws its name.

Cezanne died in 1906.
