Paul Cezanne

(1839 -1906) - France
​
Balance

MONDAY

Picture
Paul Cezanne was a French artist whose art formed a bridge between the Impressionist movement and 20th century art.  Cezanne showed his paintings in the Impressionists' first exhibit in Paris.  Although he was acquainted with some of the Impressionist painters such as Monet, Cezanne moved to his home in the south of France and painted in his own way. 
Picture
 Much of his art was not appreciated by people until near the end of his life.  Cezanne was later recognized for his influences on modern art, particularly Cubism.  
Picture
Our artwork of the week is Cezanne’s Still Life With Curtain​.  ​​

Tuesday

Picture
Balance is a principle of design that is based on the visual weight of objects.  Artworks are more appealing when their parts balance each other, and unbalanced paintings tend to bother us. ​
Picture
Picture
In a symmetrically balanced artwork, both sides seem balanced because they are similar or even identical.
Picture
Symmetrically balanced art appears orderly or formal.
Picture

Architecture often uses symmetrical designs.
YouTube video - Introduction to Symmetry (2:35 min.)

Wednesday

Picture
The opposite of symmetrical balance is asymmetrical balance.  Pictures with asymmetrical balance have different sides.  The elements are arranged so that there is a sense of balance.  Many of Cezanne’s paintings have asymmetrical balance.​
Picture
Visual weight is an important element of asymmetric balance.  Many things can affect visual weight of an object such as size.  Larger items look heavier.
Picture
Quantity - Several small items can balance one larger item

​
Picture
Color - Bright colors are visually heavier than lighter, dull colors
Picture
Cezanne used color and size to create asymmetrically balanced paintings.

Thursday

Picture
Balance is a principle of design.  Another type of balance in art is radial balance.  Radial balance happens when all the elements in an artwork are equally arranged from the center.  The parts of the painting radiate out from a central point. 
Picture
Picture
Many items in nature have radial balance, such as a daisy or a grapefruit.

Picture
Escher print
Crystallographic balance is an overall pattern that is balanced due to repeating elements being alike or of equal weight.  This print by Escher uses crystallographic balance.

Andy Warhol's soup cans use crystallographic balance.
Picture
  Quilts have crystallographic balance.

​

Friday

Picture
Cezanne intended to capture a moment in time in his paintings and he would do intense studies of his subjects.  
Picture
He was interested in simplifying natural things to their geometric forms, such as thinking of a tree trunk as a cylinder or an orange as a sphere.  Cezanne used repetitive small brushstrokes to build up his paintings.  He would sometimes take hours to put down a single stroke of paint, because he put so much thought into it.  A still life might have taken Cezanne one hundred working sessions.  
Picture
This technique became such a problem that Cézanne was unable to use real flowers, because they would wilt before he was able to finish his painting.  Cezanne painted more than 200 still lifes.

He also painted landscapes and portraits and completed over 900 oil paintings in addition to watercolors.  
Picture
Cezanne used balance and all of the principles of design to achieve the ultimate principle of design, which is unity.  Unity is a principle that is difficult to explain, but means that all of the elements of an artwork work together successfully.  
Picture
Cezanne’s work influenced both Matisse and Picasso.  Picasso referred to Cézanne as "the father of us all", meaning Cezanne paved the way for modern artists.
